New to dbt? This hands-on workshop is your launchpad. Starting from scratch, you'll set up your first dbt project using dbt Cloud and Snowflake trial accounts, no prior setup required. By the end of the session, you'll understand what dbt is, why it has become the backbone of modern analytics engineering, and how it fits into the broader data transformation landscape.

You'll work through the core building blocks of dbt: models, sources, seeds, and Jinja templating, before moving into macros, documentation, and testing. Every concept is reinforced with practical exercises, so you leave with working code. Whether you're a data analyst or an engineer stepping into the analytics space, this workshop gives you the foundation to hit the ground running on your first real dbt project.
