About This Course

Get started with Amazon QuickSight - AWS' Business Intelligence (BI) answer to Tableau and Power BI

Working with modern Business Intelligence tools is exciting. Although the market offers a broad variety of tools, you may not have found the tool that meets all your requirements yet. This course changes that!

In this course, you will learn how to use one of the latest Business Intelligence tools released to the market: Amazon QuickSight, a tool which allows you to easily analyze and visualize data. But what makes QuickSight special? QuickSight is a cloud solution and completely integrated into Amazon Web Services (AWS). With that, it can be easily connected to a broad variety of services and sources which make QuickSight a highly scalable, easy-to-use and very flexible data analysis tool. 

This course will give you a first overview of QuickSight including the following topics:

  • How to use QuickSight and its different functions

  • Understand the workflow of QuickSight

  • How to connect QuickSight to different data sources within and outside of AWS

  • How to prepare your data in QuickSight, for example by adding filters and calculated fields

  • How to easily create your analysis by building multiple visuals

  • How to create dashboards and stories

  • Share your project results with people within and outside your organization

  • How to use the iOS mobile app

  • Understand the user management of QuickSight

  • And more!

These topics will be covered throughout this course, but is this your course?

If you:

  • Never worked with QuickSight and want to get started with it

  • Are looking for a cloud based Business Intelligence tool to quickly analyze your data

  • Have worked with other Business Intelligence tools but want to take a look at new tools

  • Already worked with AWS and now want to understand how to analyze and visualize your data using a service within the AWS universe

  • Are generally interested into data analysis

Then this course is made for you!

I would be really happy to welcome you in this course!

Experience as (Web) DeveloperStarting out at the age of 12 I never stopped learning new programming skills and languages. Early I started creating websites for friends and just for fun as well. Besides web development I also explored Python and other non-web-only languages. This passion has since lasted and lead to my decision of working as a freelance web developer...

It was good session but I think it's outdated now. Everything has been upgraded in Quicksight like UI, Data sources and many more things. It'll be great if we can get the updated modules.

Basics are pretty well described and gives an overall understanding of a viz tool. A module for demonstrating couple of live running projects would be better covering topics like using AI, comparing YoY data, showing running total, YTD, QTD, MTD, configuring a calendar/date table or setting up multi date capabilities would be great. An example of doing advanced data modeling (e.g. using multiple facts with multiple dimensions) with relationship cardinality behavior would be excellent. I mean covering advance topics in a quick session will surely help in understanding or comparing this tool with Tableau or Power BI. However, well structured basic course and kudos for that. Thank you so much and looking forward for next course with advanced topics.

Very helpful but either Quicksite structure has changed or I have occasionally veered off track and had to relocate the correct are in my instance to follow along.
