I have found “Data Engineering Best Practices” to be a comprehensive and engaging walk through best practices necessary to best position an engineer for success. As stated in the beginning chapter, this book applies a hands on practical approach to apply software and data engineering practices to modern use cases. As a new Data Engineer, I must say I found this book engaging and well written. I learned much as I read through each chapter and found the engaging witticisms and manner of presentation to be helpful when trying to apply the technology to my prior experience. For example, "Don't expect to create the next state of the art tool" This type of advice presents the content in a down to earth way which draws me into wanting to accept the practices presented. The author’s friendly helpful tone keep it real for me. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking to clarify their solution engineering efforts while building up an expert understanding of data engineering best practices.
