Databricks Notes

Notes I'm writing while preparing for Databricks certifications, shared so anyone can use them to study or revise. Each track follows the recommended training path, one lecture at a time, and maps back to the official exam outline.

How the notes work

Cue and notes columns. A short cue on the left and the detail on the right. Cover the right side and test yourself on the cue.
Exam gotchas. Traps and easily confused ideas that tend to show up in exam questions.
Self-tests. Short questions after each topic. Open one to reveal the answer.
Practice questions. Multiple-choice questions in exam style at the end of each lecture, with the reasoning behind each answer.
