Hi Toronto user-group, it was great to see you yesterday. Please contact me on LinkedIn and send me photos if you took any.
I heard a few of you were trying to take the Snowflake Core certifications so I thought to send you a few resources outside what Snowflake recommends:
https://github.com/Infostrux-Solutions/snowflake-snowpro-core-study-notes
https://www.udemy.com/course/ultimate-snowpro-core-certification-course-exam/?couponCode=OF83024F
https://quizlet.com/380510774/snowflake-certification-flash-cards/
These are unofficial resources so please focus on Snowflake resources first.
Other topics we spoke on a lean coffee:
