Sequence 006 - Understand technology as a prerequisite layer, not the curriculum

Program Orientation | Orientation

WHEN / PURPOSE — Prevent the program from turning into a data-engineering bootcamp.

WHAT YOU SHOULD LEARN

  • Technology is learned just ahead of need.
  • SQL is strongest priority but starts before Chapter 5, not Chapter 1.
  • Python supports repeatable governance/data-management work, not software engineering.
  • Later tools appear only when a chapter creates a reason.

WHAT TO READ / STUDY

Priority Resource Open Use now Stop point
MUST Technology Competency Roadmap OPEN Read philosophy, sequence, target depth and stop boundaries. Do not start all technology blocks now.
SHOULD Detailed Technology Competency Reference OPEN Use only when a technology gate is active. Reference only for now.

DO THIS IN ORDER

  1. Write the core stack.
  2. Write the “not required” list.
  3. Identify the first major technology gate.
  4. Explain why Chapters 1–4 should not be delayed for SQL/Python.

MERIDIAN APPLICATION

Meridian will use tools to make DMBOK concepts observable, not to train a new engineering profession.

STOP / BOUNDARY: Stay inside the current source/skill boundary. Do not pre-learn later chapters or engineering depth.

CREATE / SAVE

Technology boundary note.

YOU ARE DONE WHEN: You can explain the difference between governance-supporting technical fluency and data engineering.
