Release Notes - October 2020
In addition to launching the badging program, the Talend Academy team was busy in Q3-2020 producing a new certification exam, writing and updating learning plans, creating new videos, and developing new use cases. There’s a lot of new content available to help you be successful with Talend products!
New certification preparation courses
Talend Data Integration v7 Certified Developer Exam
This certification exam covers topics related to the development of Talend Studio data integration Jobs. Topics include, but are not limited to, using Talend Studio in a stand-alone and collaborative team environment to build, analyze, and test Jobs, accessing files and databases, joining and filtering data, orchestrating complex tasks, and following best practices.
New and updated learning plans
Talend Cloud for data analysts
This new learning plan is the first to be fully focused on the cloud, with no need for Talend on-premises software. It covers the main features of Talend Cloud needed by someone in a data analyst role, such as Talend Data Inventory with the new trust score, Talend Data Preparation, Talend Pipeline Designer, and Talend Data Stewardship.
How do you know if the course is right for you? Are you a business user in a department other than IT, such as marketing, sales, finance, or legal? Is there data in your company that you need to interact with to achieve your business goals? Then this course shows you how to use Talend tools to access that data. You do not need to be deeply technical to benefit, so check it out!
This course has been modularized, so you can take the modules in any order to target your learning. The new introduction video describes all of the Talend applications involved in the development of APIs and services.
