Developing Data Models with LookML
This course builds up on Analyzing and Visualizing Data with Looker, providing a complete foundation on how to manage and curate Looker explores to support looks and dashboards. In this training, the focus is on LookML – the Looker Modeling Language. With LookML, analysts can develop semantic data models through dimensions, measures, and data relationships. Moreover, advanced topics such as project version control, caching, and datagroups are also covered.
