I passed the DP-700! Thanks to Will and the community !

NEW ⚡ Making decisions about when to choose which items in Fabric is a common problem: Lakehouse vs Warehouse, Pipeline vs Dataflow vs T-SQL vs Notebook etc, and it can cause some confusion... These decisions come up a lot during the DP-700 exam also, many times you will be presented with a particular scenario, and you will be asked which item is best suited to the problem - both in terms of data storage and transformation. In our latest video (just released now!), we take a look at the Microsoft Decision Guides for Fabric data stores, and data ingestion/ transformation. Plus we also cover Shortcuts and Mirroring. 👉 📽️ WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/lPCBGOStKU4 👉 📽️ Also, earlier this week, I posted about Orchestration in Microsoft Fabric, watch that one here: https://youtu.be/U7t9j95d1WA This marks the halfway point for our DP-700 series, but we've still got a lot of big topics to come! Next week, we'll start diving into Data Transformation using T-SQL and PySpark - see you then!

Just wanted to wish everyone here a fantastic 2025 - let's make it a great year 😀💪 Do you have any goals for the year? Share them below for some accountability! 👇

Hey everyone, for people preparing for the DP-700 beta exam, this blog post by Ali Stoops gives some good insights into what the exam entails, and some tips. Has anyone taken the DP-700 beta exam yet? Or planning to in the near future? I do plan on covering it with content, but it likely won't be until early next year

So now we have confirmation of the new features that are being launched at FabCon. There are three main places to look: - The September 2024 Fabric Update Blog - Arun Ulag's summary of the announcements, which is also useful - If you like video, you can watch the Microsoft YouTube video on the updates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWQMlt9ikE0 It will take a few hours (or days/ weeks) to digest everything that's in there, but a few that caught my eye on first look: General: - Git Integration is now GA - New Fabric Terraform provider has been released (Preview), to enable infrastructure-as-code/ automation. - Access Databricks Unity Catalog tables from Fabric (public preview) Data Warehouse - T-SQL NOTEBOOKS! This is really cool - and opens up new options for Data Analytics (who know T-SQL), I mentioned this in my latest video. - Delta column mapping in the SQL analytics endpoint (public preview) - this allows users to be a bit more liberal with column names (including spaces, if that's your jam) Data Engineering - Support for spaces in Lakehouse Delta table names - T-SQL Endpoint now working on Lakehouse with Schemas (but Lakehouse Schemas still preview: use with caution!).
