Unlocking Dbt

This book shows how dbt is used to build data transformation pipelines that enable dependency management and allow for version control and automated testing. It explains how dbt is revolutionizing data transformation and the advantages that a command-line tool like dbt provides over and above the use of database stored procedures and other ETL and ELT tools that handle data transformations. You’ll see how to create custom-written transformations through simple SQL SELECT statements, eliminating the need for boilerplate code and making it easy to incorporate dbt as the transformation layer in your data warehouse pipelines. Additionally, you will learn how dbt enables data teams to incorporate software engineering best practices such as code reusability, version control, and automated testing into the data transformation process. Unlocking dbt walks you through using dbt to establish a project, build and modularize SQL models, and execute jobs in a way that is easy to maintain and scale as your data ecosystem matures. You’ll begin by establishing and configuring a project, a process covered using both dbt Cloud and dbt Core, so that you can confidently stand up a project using either platform. From there, you’ll move into building transformations with peace of mind that your project will scale appropriately as you continue to develop it. After learning the basics needed to get started, you’ll continue to build on that foundation by looking at the unique ways in which dbt combines SQL with Jinja to take your code beyond what is capable in normal SQL. You will learn about advanced materializations, building lineage in your data flows, the unlimited potential of macros, and so much more. This book also explores supported file types and the building of Python models. Rounding things out, you will learn features of dbt that will assist you in making your transformation layer production ready. These include how to implement automated testing, using dbt to generate documentation, and running CI/CD pipelines. What You Will Learn Understand what dbt is and how it is used in the modern data stack Set up a project using both dbt Cloud and dbt Core Connect a dbt project to a cloud data warehouse Build SQL and Python models that are scalable and maintainable Configure development, testing, and production environments Capture reusable logic in the form of Jinja macros Incorporate version control with your data transformation code Who This Book Is For Current and aspiring data professionals, including architects, developers, analysts, engineers, data scientists, and consultants who are beginning the journey of using dbt as part of their data pipeline’s transformation layer.

Based on over twenty years of research, radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT) is a breakthrough, transdiagnostic approach for helping people suffering from extremely difficult-to-treat emotional overcontrol (OC) disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and treatment-resistant depression. Written by the founder of RO DBT, Thomas Lynch, this comprehensive volume outlines the core theories of RO DBT, and provides a framework for implementing RO DBT in individual therapy. While traditional dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) has shown tremendous success in treating people with emotion dysregulation, there have been few resources available for treating those with overcontrol disorders. OC has been linked to social isolation, aloof and distant relationships, cognitive rigidity, risk aversion, a strong need for structure, inhibited emotional expression, and hyper-perfectionism. And yet—perhaps due to the high value our society places on the capacity to delay gratification and inhibit public displays of destructive emotions and impulses—problems linked with OC have received little attention or been misunderstood. Indeed, people with OC are often considered highly successful by others, even as they suffer silently and alone. RO DBT is based on the premise that psychological well-being involves the confluence of three factors: receptivity, flexibility, and social-connectedness. RO DBT addresses each of these important factors, and is the first treatment in the world to prioritize social-signaling as the primary mechanism of change based on a transdiagnostic, neuroregulatory model linking the communicative function of human emotions to the establishment of social connectedness and well-being. As such, RO DBT is an invaluable resource for treating an array of disorders that center around overcontrol and a lack of social connectedness—such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, postpartum depression, treatment-resistant anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, as well as personality disorders such as avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, and paranoid personality disorder. Written for mental health professionals, professors, or simply those interested in behavioral health, this seminal book—along with its companion, The Skills Training Manual for Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (available separately)—provides everything you need to understand and implement this exciting new treatment in individual therapy—including theory, history, research, ongoing studies, clinical examples, and future directions.

Proficiency in Bootstrap, AJAX, and jQuery is paramount in modern web development due to their significant contributions to creating engaging and functional web applications. Bootstrap, with its extensive library of pre-designed components and responsive grid system, expedites UI development while ensuring consistency and adaptability across various devices and screen sizes. AJAX empowers developers to implement dynamic and asynchronous communication between the client and server, enabling real-time updates without requiring full page reloads. This enhances user experience by providing smoother interactions and reducing latency, crucial for today's fast-paced digital environments. Further, jQuery simplifies client-side scripting by abstracting complex JavaScript operations into concise and reusable functions, facilitating efficient DOM manipulation, event handling, and AJAX requests. Mastery of these technologies not only aligns developers with industry standards but also enhances the employability opportunities by demonstrating their ability to create visually appealing, responsive, and interactive web applications that meet the evolving demands of users and businesses alike in the competitive web development landscape.

Do you suffer from separation anxiety, fear of abandonment, self-harm, or emotional instability that has prevented you from living a "normal" life? Have negative thoughts taken over, making it hard to control and manage them? Do you experience intense emotions that are difficult to name, such as anger, fear, sadness, and shame? These emotions are nature's way of protecting us, but sometimes trauma can interfere with our ability to regulate them, leading to amplified feelings that can cause devastating effects for ourselves and others. If you struggle with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you likely experience intense and fluctuating emotions, troubling thoughts, and behaviors that make it difficult to maintain healthy relationships with others. Borderline personality disorder is still a stigmatized condition, fueled by ignorance and misinformation that causes unnecessary shame and isolation for its victims. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has become one of the most popular and effective treatments for mental health conditions that are rooted in out-of-control emotions, including BPD. Originally created for the treatment of individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts, DBT has matured into a treatment for a range of other conditions that involve dysfunctional emotional regulation, including substance abuse and eating disorders. It is currently considered the "gold standard" for BPD treatment. If you have experienced anxiety, depression, anger, intense emotional explosions, instability in relationships and self-esteem, concerns about abandonment, feeling misunderstood, helplessness, despair, self-harm, suicidal ideation, or doubts about yourself and your sanity in the last three months, then this book is for you. By reading this book, you will gain insight into the dynamics of BPD and learn techniques for managing and regulating your emotions. Managing emotions can be a daunting task, and without proper guidance, it's easy to spiral into a deeper state of distress. But with this comprehensive toolkit at your fingertips, you can finally take concrete steps towards the life you deserve. If you're ready to break free from the cycle of anxiety and stress, and start living your best life, then this is a must-have addition to your personal library.

Originally developed for the treatment of borderline personality disorder, dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, has rapidly become one of the most popular and most effective treatments for all mental health conditions rooted in out-of-control emotions. However, there are limited resources for psychologists seeking to use DBT skills with individual clients. In the tradition of ACT Made Simple, DBT Made Simple provides clinicians with everything they need to know to start using DBT in the therapy room. The first part of this book briefly covers the theory and research behind DBT and explains how DBT differs from traditional cognitive behavioral therapy approaches. The second part focuses on strategies professionals can use in individual client sessions, while the third section teaches the four skills modules that form the backbone of DBT: core mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The book includes handouts, case examples, and example therapist-client dialogue—everything clinicians need to equip their clients with these effective and life-changing skills.
