You extract\nraw data, prepare it, deliver an analysis... and then are never able touse any of that work again. This is hugely\ninefficient, since the next analysis often involves many of the same steps. With LookML, once you define a\ndimension or a measure, you continue to build on it, rather than having to rewrite it again and again.\n- **Empowers end users**:  The data model that data analysts and developers create in LookML condenses and\nencapsulates the complexity of SQL, it and lets analysts get the knowledge about what their data means out of\ntheir heads so others can use it. This enables non-technical users to do their jobs \u0026mdash; building dashboards,\ndrilling to row-level detail, and accessing complex metrics \u0026mdash; without having to worry about what’s behind the curtain.\n- **Allows for data governance**: By defining business metrics in LookML, you can ensure that Looker is always a\ncredible single source of truth.\n\nThe Looker application uses a model written in LookML to construct SQL queries against a particular database that\nbusiness analysts can [Explore](https://cloud.google.com/looker/docs/r/exploring-data) on. For an overview on the basics of LookML, see [What is LookML?](https://cloud.google.com/looker/docs/r/what-is-lookml)\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d7eea\"\u003eLearn to Speak Looker\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\n\nA LookML project is a collection of LookML files that describes a set of related [views](https://cloud.google.com/looker/docs/r/terms/view-file), [models](https://cloud.google.com/looker/docs/r/terms/model-file), and [Explores](https://cloud.google.com/looker/docs/r/terms/explore).\n- A [view](https://cloud.google.com/looker/docs/r/terms/view-file) (.view files) contains information about how to access or calculate information from each table (or\nacross multiple joined tables). Here you’ll typically define the view, its dimensions and measures, and its field sets.\n- A [model](https://cloud.google.com/looker/docs/r/terms/model-file) (.model file) contains information about which tables to use and how they should be joined together.\nHere you’ll typically define the model, its Explores, and its joins.\n- An [Explore](https://cloud.google.com/looker/docs/r/terms/explore) is the starting point for business users to query data, and it is the end result of the LookML you are\nwriting. To see the Explores in this project, select an Explore from the Explore menu.\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d7eea\"\u003eExploring Data\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\n\nAd-hoc data discovery is one of Looker’s most powerful and unique features. As you evaluate use cases for your\ntrial, consider what business areas you would like to explore. Open the Explore menu in the main navigation to see\nthe Explores you are building.\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d7eea\"\u003eThe Development Workflow\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\n\nTo support a multi-developer environment, Looker is integrated with Git for version control. Follow [these directions](https://cloud.google.com/looker/docs/r/develop/git-setup)\nto set up Git for your project. To edit LookML, expand the Develop drop-down and toggle on [Development Mode](https://cloud.google.com/looker/docs/r/terms/dev-mode). In\nDevelopment Mode, changes you make to the LookML model exist only in your account until you commit the\nchanges and push them to your production model.\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d7eea\"\u003eAdditional Resources\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\n\nTo learn more about LookML and how to develop visit:\n- [Looker User Guide](https://looker.com/guide)\n- [Looker Help Center](https://help.looker.com)\n- [Looker University](https://training.looker.com/)\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdandoh%2Flookml_dev","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdandoh%2Flookml_dev","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdandoh%2Flookml_dev/lists"}
