To help you get started with Snowflake I have collected a list of resources here that I find helpful and that I think could help you too.
If you are completely new to Snowflake, you could start by leaning back and watching this introduction made by Snowflake:
What is Snowflake?
When you’re done with the video, here are some more thorough introductions:
- The best way to get started with snowflake is to create a trial account and try it out. This is a really good 45 minute lab that covers all the basics. I highly recommend walking through it here.
- There’s also 6 hours of free self guided training available here on the Snowflake website
- Snowflake cheat sheet: Snowflake in 7 pages
- In the certification guide there is a long list of videos. These videos are a perfect way to get introduced to Snowflake.
