Awesome link. Epic is the right descriptor. You could do much, much worse if you were looking to understand data integration in practice.

The links section at the bottom alone are a tremendous resource. I've stumbled across most of these over a period of years and if you started with just skimming over this article and the links, you would save yourself many hard lessons.
