Junior Data Engineering Bootcamp
After many failed attempts through Udemy, following Data Science courses, I decided to sign up for a bootcamp. I did not know yet where to start to be able to dive into the world of data and software development. Through word of mouth I found a support scheme “NL leert door”, where you can follow free training offered by several training institutes. Side note: most of the bootcamps here in the Netherlands are between €2500–€4500 or even more. Since I was not planning on spending this amount of money on a bootcamp, I decided to sign up and make use of this support scheme. I enrolled in the Junior Data Engineer Bootcamp of Bit Academy and started in March 2022. The recommended amount of study time was 25–40 hours per week.
What I have learned the following 10 weeks:
- Most commonly used programming tools
- Programming in Python
- Visualise data with Pandas & Seaborn
- Build databases in MySQL
- Retrieve data with SWL
- Advantages of different types of plots
- Works with Jupyter notebooks
- Navigate to the Command Line Interface

In the following blogposts I will go through each of these topics. During the bootcamp itself I noticed I had little time left to document the adventure. But I am excited to show you what I have learned the following months so stay tuned!
