DataForge Training Series¶
The DataForge team created a series of training videos to cover various aspects of the platform. We have grouped the training videos into three levels: Foundational, Intermediate, and Advanced.
If there are additional trainings you would find useful, please feel free to submit a request to our support team!
Foundational Level¶
You have a basic understanding of the core components and architecture of DataForge. You have a basic understanding of best practices for DataForge configuration. You understand how data flows between inputs to outputs and how transformations are defined.
Achievements:¶
