This is a 4-hour introductory workshop on data modeling for DataStax Enterprise.MotivationProspective customers often find DSE Data Modeling to be a stumbling block, because it is very different from relational data modeling. For example, evaluators may initially believe that enterprise applications simply cannot be built without familiar relational capabilities such as Joins, ACID, Referential Integrity, etc.This workshop teaches new users the principles of Data Modeling in DSE. The workshop methodology does not begin with a relational conceptual model (in contrast to Academy courses). Instead, it teaches key DSE modeling principles, and then uses a "DSE Mindset" from start to finish.What is included?Studio notebooks and a corresponding presentation (with detailed speaker notes) walks the students through DSE Data Modeling with a 4-step approach: Conceptual, Logical, Physical, and Optimization.
