> This is content from just-tim, the data-and-analytics channel by Tim Ngwena (formerly 'Tableau Tim'). Tim has 12+ years of hands-on BI experience and covers Tableau most of all, plus Power BI, Looker, Hex, SQL and data modelling, the analytics industry, and the craft of doing the job — always tool-agnostic and honest about the trade-offs.

I introduce my new LinkedIn Learning course, Everybody's Introduction to Snowflake, and explain how it grew out of the Snowflake content I've already been making on YouTube. I cover how to access the course for free and why I'm expanding beyond Tableau into Snowflake.

## Key takeaways

- My Snowflake YouTube series was built by working through Snowflake's own free getting-started resources side by side, then teaching them back in my own style.
- The new course, Everybody's Introduction to Snowflake, runs about an hour and 30 minutes and assumes no prior database knowledge.
- You can access it free through LinkedIn Learning via LinkedIn Premium, a 30-day free trial, or a public 24-hour free link on my LinkedIn post.
- Retention metrics on a 30-minute Snowflake video held roughly flat after the first minute, showing dry database topics can be made engaging.
- Expect a more consistent cadence of Snowflake content on YouTube, eventually building full end-to-end solutions combining Snowflake and Tableau.
