Do you want to get Snowflake DABW badge? Want to showcase your hand-on-expertise to your employer, manager, or you are aspiring for a new role in Snowflake world, or you want to learn something really cool and test your learning ?

Sounds interesting than you are at the right place….!

Today I would like to share with you my experience and learning toward Snowflake Hands On Essentials — Data Applications (DABW Badge).

I was a privilege learner to become the first person to learn and gain this badge from Mindtickle portal. This is also famous with name of Workshop 3 in continuation of other 2 workshops. This is one which will test your patience, willingness to learn, dedication to upskill in multiple platform and surely outcome is very much impressive as you are rewarded with a digital badges in Acclaim Portal. You can shout out loud to all that you had done this workshop and looking at the complexity and variety of flavor anyone will applaud for your efforts.

Now the next question came to mind how to start with that and yes this blog is for that only.

DABW Prerequisites

To access the Data Application Builders Workshop (DABW) materials, you need to:

  • Fill out a Google form at the end of this checklist.

To receive the DABW Badge (3rd in series), you need to:

Please Note: Badge 2 is optional and does not need to be completed in advance of Badge 3.

If you met above prerequisite then you can look for Badge Workshop 3: Orientation under Mindtickle portal. This needs to be filled to show your interest for workshop 3, and it also includes a Google form which you need to fill. Workshop 3 is still not a public series hence it is still request based. Snowflake team will send out a mail to you in a few days after your expression of interest.

There are 2 details labs in Workshop 3. Both have different technology stack and flavor of effort. Each lab will take around a minimum 4-5 dedicated hours to reach completion. Other factor like your knowledge on Cloud, IOT device is added advantage.

  1. Build a Python WebApp with Snowflake(14 labs + 1 Project Submission task)
  2. Build an IOT Pipeline with Snowflake (13 labs + 1 Project Submission task)

My Workshop 3 Final Project Submission to Snowflake Academy:

The Outcome of the project will look like below.

Although the outcome may look simple, but there is a lot more to it. You can do it in phases, but my recommendation is to do it in a single stretch so that you don’t have to recall what you did last time.

There is also an OPTIONAL section for Java lover who want to try labs in java, but this is not part of workshop completion criteria and totally on your choice and will to opt for it or not.
