How can I find Denodo Community content suited to my role?

Updated

The Denodo Community organizes its content by role, so the fastest path is to go to the "Explore Content by Role" section on the community home page and pick the role that matches your job. From there you can move into role-specific learning paths, courses, and tutorials. Signing in unlocks personalized recommendations and progress tracking, so if you want a tailored view rather than browsing, create an account or sign in first.

The six roles the site is organized around

The community lists these roles as entry points:

  • Data Architect
  • Data Developer
  • Administrator
  • End User
  • Data Analyst
  • AI Developer

Each role entry is a curated starting point rather than a single article, so treat it as a doorway into the relevant tutorials, use cases, and documentation.

What you can reach from each entry point

Once you select a role, the community connects you to several content types that are shared across the site:

Content type What it gives you
Fast Track A guided route into the platform
Learn Tutorials, how-to videos, technical webinars, hands-on labs
Training Courses Structured courses plus learning paths and a course catalog
Certification Certification exams, your exam results, and pending exams
Documentation User manuals for the latest and other versions
Knowledge Base Reference material for specific problems
Collaborate User groups, Q&A forum, and the option to ask a question

The role you choose mainly changes which of these are surfaced first and which use cases are highlighted, not which resources exist.

Matching a role to the right starting content

Use the role labels as a filter on your own goal:

  • Data Architect — start with Solution Journeys such as Denodo Architectures, Deployment Topology, and Unified Semantic Layer for Data Democratization.
  • Data Developer — start with Design/Develop topics: Development Lifecycle, DataSource Connectivity, Modeling and Metadata Organization, and Query Performance Optimization.
  • Administrator — start with Operate and Manage: Security and Monitoring.
  • Data Analyst / End User — start with the self-service and data democratization use cases, then the Learn tutorials.
  • AI Developer — start with the "Implementation of Trusted and Scalable AI Solutions" use case, which frames turning enterprise data into a governed knowledge base for AI applications.

Getting personalized recommendations and tracking progress

The home page offers a "Want Personalized Recommendations? Sign In" prompt, and the training area includes "My Progress," "My Exam Results," and "My Pending Exams." These are tied to your account, so:

  1. Register or sign in from the community home page.
  2. Return to the role-based entry points — recommendations and your learning state now appear against your profile.
  3. Use My Progress and the exam pages to see where you left off in courses and certification.

If you only want to read documentation or browse the forum, you can do that without signing in; the account is what adds personalization and progress records.

Practical ways to narrow down further

  • Use the Q&A forum's "Search by tag" and "All Questions" to find role-relevant threads, or post under "Ask a Question."
  • Check "What's New" and "Most Popular" for current material, and "Most Used by You" once signed in.
  • Join a User Group if you want peer discussion around your role.
  • The Technical Newsletter keeps you updated on trending topics and community updates if you prefer to be notified rather than search.

A quick rule of thumb: pick your role first, then choose the content type (Learn, Training, Documentation, Knowledge Base) that matches whether you want to build skills, look something up, or solve a specific problem.
