Two of my videos got featured in the Fabric Influencers Spotlight! ๐ŸŽ‰

Every month the Microsoft Fabric Community team collects content from MVPs and Fabric Super Users into one blog post. The August edition just came out and two of my videos made the list.

๐ŸŽฅ Is Azure Data Factory going away?
I sat down with Mark Kromer from Microsoft's Data Factory team and asked him directly. We also walk through the built-in Migrate to Fabric tool, from assessment to migrated pipelines.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z88OQ...

๐ŸŽฅ AI agents now do my Fabric data engineering
Two autonomous AI agents run a full development cycle on a Fabric data platform. From an Azure DevOps ticket all the way to a reviewed pull request, with their own identities and permissions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tj6M...

Big thanks to the Fabric Community team for putting this together. ๐Ÿ™

And the whole spotlight is worth a scroll. 42 contributions from MVPs and Fabric Super Users, all in one post:

Fabric apps are one of those things that become much easier once you have built the first one. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

So that is what we are doing on Wednesday's Fabric Forge weekly call.

We start from zero. Prepare the development environment, build a working app from a template, and then look at what else you could build once the basics are in place.

๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐œ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ:
โœ… Setting up your environment for Fabric app development
โœ… Creating your first app from a template
โœ… Building and running a simple to-do app
โœ… Understanding the basic structure behind the app
โœ… Connecting the pieces and getting it published in Fabric
โœ… Different app ideas you could build from there

The goal is not to build anything complicated. It is to show how quickly you can get to something useful, and give you ideas for where Fabric apps could fit into your own work.

As always, members bring their own questions and scenarios, and we discuss them along the way.

Summer is over, people are back at work, and September is honestly the best month to add a new skill to your resume. Calendars reset, and an exam date booked a few weeks out does the motivating for you.

We have been busy building Fabric Forge! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”จ

New content lands every week, and the library just passed 50 hours of Microsoft Fabric video training.

But hours alone don't teach you Fabric. You don't really learn it by watching videos, you learn it by building. So courses follows the same idea: short lecture videos teach the concept, then you build the thing yourself in Fabric with guided exercises.

The library covers:
๐Ÿ”น Microsoft Fabric Fundamentals
๐Ÿ”น Pipelines
๐Ÿ”น Dataflow Gen2
๐Ÿ”น Lakehouse
๐Ÿ”น PySpark Notebooks
๐Ÿ”น Power BI (including Direct Lake)
๐Ÿ”น Real-Time Intelligence
๐Ÿ”น CI/CD (including deployments with the fabric-cicd library)
๐Ÿ”น Data Agents

In total: 9 courses, 70 guided exercises and 53 hours of video training. And we keep adding more every week.

Big thanks to the Fabric Forge instructor team for building this with me. ๐Ÿ™

Quick heads up for anyone here planning a Microsoft certification this autumn.

September is the month to book the exam date: a date in the calendar a few weeks out does more for your studying than any amount of motivation. A lot of you are working towards DP-600 and DP-700, and both are covered in CertiAce along with 13 other Microsoft exams, including the new AI certifications (AI-103, AI-200, AI-300) and SC-900 that we added over the summer.

This week there is a back-to-work offer: 60% off the yearly plan, $79.60 instead of $199.

BACKTOWORK60 โ†’ valid until Sunday, September 6
