#041: A simple 4-step process for creating dbt models

May 11, 2023

We all start our dbt models the same way.

...Staring at a blank .sql file.

But what you do next will significantly impact how your project turns out.

In today’s video I want to share with you the easy 4-step process I follow when building dbt models.

And how this simple approach can save you tons of time in both development and long term maintenance.

 


What will you learn?

  • How to build dbt models in 4 steps
  • How Python can teach us to write cleaner sql
  • How all of this can save you time (and $)

 

Hope you enjoy it and see you next week!
