This is a bner to expert course
Learn from more than 8 hours of relevant instructional video content, with the only complete bner to expert guide on Google Looker.
Explore, analyze, visualize, and access your data with Google Looker. Looker is used as a sophisticated business intelligence (BI) and visualization software similar to Power BI and Tableau. Companies deploy Looker to their employees so that they can make trusted decisions and actions based on their data.
More than 2,000 organizations use Looker. Looker is named as a Visionary in Gartner's Magic Quadrant.
Looker is officially part of Google Cloud Platform. Google bought Looker in 2020 for more than $2.6 billion. This demonstrates Google's investment that Looker will be the top tier BI and visualization software of choice for companies across the world.
This is the only complete guide to Google Looker for the User / Analyst, from bner to expert. This course is not only comprehensive (it covers everything you need to know right from the start / bner level) but is also instructional in nature, meaning that as we learn new concepts, we are also integrating them in the application. Don't just learn concepts, learn how to actually apply them. That also means that whether you are a bner or expert, there's something for you in this course.
This course is structured in a way that helps you learn all the concepts. For each concept, we first cover it in theory and then apply it using a real life example. We also progressively learn more and more advanced concepts, so that you never feel overwhelmed and can achieve your goals.
Note: this is the User / Analyst series. In this course, we learn everything that a consumer of Google Looker would need to know (topics such as analyzing data, creating reports, creating Looks, creating dashboards, organizing and sharing reports, creating custom fields, etc.). This covers more than 95% of Looker's use cases. In order to learn how to use code to develop Looker, please refer to the Developer / Administrator series instead. Feel free to watch the free preview of the Course Overview, or message me, if you have any questions.
Again, this is the complete guide to Google Looker for the User / Analyst - you won't ever need another course.
This course is the User / Analyst series. However, this is still useful if you're a developer or administrator, as this course is a pre-requisite for the Developer / Administrator series.
What is Looker
Looker is a business intelligence software and big data analytics platform that organizations use to empower their employees to explore, analyze, and share real- business analytics and insights. It is part of the Google Cloud Platform after Google acquired Looker for over $2.6 billion.
What makes Looker different
Looker is regarded as more than an alternative to Power BI or Tableau. It operates 100% on the cloud and is browser-based, which means that no desktop software is required or needs to be managed. It contains a trusted data model, and a language called LookML that allows users to compile data and assign business logic across the organization. It also contains powerful APIs and third-party connectors that are used to create workflows and apps from your data.
What is the User / Analyst Series
Looker is used by two groups of people:
User / Analyst - these are individuals who would use Looker to analyze data, build and consume reports / dashboards, create report workflows, and manage folders and boards. It is also for those people who are knew to Looker who want to understand how Looker works on the front-end before they start developing it. These are people like data analysts, business analysts, data scientists, product managers, department heads, and executives.
Developer / Administrator - these are individuals who would be responsible for setting up Looker, and have it connect and access the underlying SQL data. These people are the ones responsible for creating the underlying data model in LookML that is used by Users and Analysts. These are people like software developers, IT administrators, and data eeers.
