This text can be purchased prior to attending the Master Class, the latest course schedule and detailed description can be found on Steve Hoberman's website, stevehoberman.com. The Master Class is a complete data modeling course, containing three days of practical techniques for producing conceptual, logical, and physical relational and dimensional and NoSQL data models. After learning the styles and steps in capturing and modeling requirements, you will apply a best practices approach to building and validating data models through the Data Model Scorecard®. You will know not just how to build a data model, but how to build a data model well. Three case studies and many exercises reinforce the material and will enable you to apply these techniques in your current projects. Top 5 Objectives Determine how and when to use each data modeling component Apply techniques to elicit data requirements as a prerequisite to building a data model Build relational and dimensional conceptual, logical, and physical data models Incorporate supportability and extensibility features into the data model Assess the quality of a data model.
