Dagster has launched Dagster University, a free self-paced online course aimed at beginners learning to build asset-based data pipelines. The first course, Dagster Essentials, includes nine lessons, quizzes, practice problems, a capstone project, and awards a completion certificate. Dagster also announced Dagster Open Platform, an open-source reference project that exposes their own internal data platform built with Dagster best practices, available on GitHub for teams to use as inspiration.
