Microsoft Fabric and its place in the Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform

Welcome!

Data Céilí are proud to bring you this pre-conference event. All of our precons will be running in Trinity College Dublin on Thursday 13th June.

The precon summary

Microsoft Fabric is a new service that was announced during Microsoft Build 2023. Which has caused a lot of excitement in the Microsoft Data Platform community.

During this training day we will cover what Microsoft Fabric is and its place in the Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform.

It is co-presented by two MVP’s who have looked into solutions for clients from different perspectives. One from a Power Bi background and one from a Data Engineering services background.

So that you get a holistic view about the entire Microsoft Fabric environment.

During the training day we cover:

• Confidently administer and govern the Microsoft Fabric environment (including licensing)
• Work with One Lake
• Realistically implement Lakehouses
• Work with Data warehouses
• Implement Data Factory for various scenarios
• Start with real-time analytics
• Get started with Data Science
• Start with real-time analytics

• Use Power BI with some of the above experiences

A lot of these elements can be worked on in your own Microsoft Fabric environment. However, we will also be showing demos throughout the day.

In addition, we will also explain its role in the Microsoft Data Platform with some practical demos.

We will send out information on how you can look to create your own Fabric environment beforehand. Just be aware that some functionality might be limited.

In addition, it helps to have various applications installed locally. We will send out a list of applications before the training day.

At the end of this training day, you leave with the knowledge you need to get started Microsoft Fabric.
