Another novelty this year is the feature of the hands-on Masterclasses from Joe Reis, author of “The Data Engineering Book”, Fundamentals of Data Engineering (O’Reilly), and co-creator of a top data engineering course on Coursera with Andrew Ng. He keynotes at conferences worldwide, hosts a popular podcast and blog, and is currently writing his next book on Mixed Model Arts.
