YAML Tutorial | Learn YAML in 10 Minutes

All modern data engineers NEED to be able to work with YAML/YML.
But why is it so important?
YAML has quickly become to go-to file type for configuration files.
And pretty much every modern tool requires configuration of some sort.
This includes things like automation, scheduling, deployments and much more.
It provides many similar features as traditional markdown files like XML and JSON…
But in a more readable way.
In this video we will:
- Talk about what YAML is
- Create a file from scratch
- Review real-world implementations
By the end you will be ready to hop into the world of YAML files and even build some yourself.

I really enjoyed the fact that you thought of some sample names beforehand so that you wouldn't just keep writing example1, example2, etc

[@KahanDataSolutions]

Thanks!

[@vishal_uk]

Pretty simple way to explain. You’re amazing bro!

[@luisurena1770]

[@CliffR]

Nice explanation, thanks

[@KahanDataSolutions]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jaysonp9426]

This was so good. I still like json better but that's just what I'm used to

[@therealjohnshelburne]

Thank you so much for making the content relatable!!! This was awesome! I am so done with examples of contoso or other fictional companies. Now I am going to go puke b/c I didn't know the amazing power YAML till now.

[@KahanDataSolutions]

You are very welcome! Glad you found it helpful.

[@troybrightphx3120]

Appreciate this simple and helpful video!! Although, I suspect you're bitter that Charles Barkley went to Phoenix. 😁

[@user-yj4hk4oq9m]

Is there a note app that push in a note then it automates turn into yaml note?

[@higiniofuentes2551]

Is yaml used with large information data (many records) or only with configuration files?

[@sorvex9]

Great, learned yaml in 5 minutes. Using 2x speed :)

[@theconfusedchannel6365]

Nice Video! simple and crisp. Though not sure 6rs winning this year.

[@KahanDataSolutions]

Trust the Process

[@sandeepmanjunath8004]

Hi I am new to the data engineering industry and wanted to know that the function of configuration file would be ? Thank you

[@mamadeebuildsahouse]

Yaml stands for even though You Man Are Lovely, I prefer Jason! :D

[@rohitjoshi5655]

Is object and dictionary the same in here?

[@configureunex545]

What is the use of yaml in devops engineer??? I started to learn Devops that the reason I come

[@sobeck6900]

Big note when we compare json to yaml is that json doesn't support comments while yaml do.

[@ProWannabe88]

Great video, but you say "tabbed in" quite a few times when YAML doesn't actually support tab spacing which may be confusing for newbies like myself. You are actually double spacing instead of tabbing.

[@KahanDataSolutions]

Thanks Mark! And yeah I realized that too after I uploaded it (whoops). But hopefully the general concepts still got across.

[@robertdalga128]

You probably should go back and edit the video with text on the screen correcting yourself and repost it.

[@robinpage2730]

If the C struct was it's own entire programming language

[@日本語大好き]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@intrepidis1]

It's funny that the video's thumbnail has an XML icon instead of something YAML related. What's that all about?

[@KahanDataSolutions]

It's just a generic "code" icon, didn't intend to be confusing w/ XML. Sorry!

[@oklmdensr]

how can i add an emoji in a message. for example (message : | 😃)

[@KahanDataSolutions]

You'd have to add the text equivalent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emoticons

[@mx2000]

Ohh, but there is soo much more to YAML - it comes with a bucket full of obscure features.
Like, did you know you can do sparse sequences? Ordered maps? Anchors and aliases? Multi-document files?
It's all in the standard, there to surprise you when you least expect it 😂

[@estring69]

YAML... I use that sh on everything.... :)

[@x-seronis-x]

Pretty sure YAML is Yet Another Markup Language and its not a recursive acronym

[@u2bist]

YAML used to stand for Yet Another Markup Language

[@esclavodeluna8000]

Here trying to understand github actions better

[@ppi57]

Sorry, but you didn't start from Zero

[@bryonhulcher851]

I thought i was the only one.. This video is talking to someone as if they assume they have any experience before going in. A lot of these people forget who they are talking to. They think cause they know what it means , everyone should. I didnt understand a god damn thing you said

[@microtech2448]

Json is far better and easy to understand. Yaml should be deprecated

[@terrysimpkins3894]

this wasn't helpful at all
