I have silver layer fabric workspace which has numerous notebooks under folder called "common". e.g one of the notebook is called Env_Config which basically identifies environment and then depending on environment, it does some basic variables configuration. Another notebook is called "shared functions" , a central notebook with all UDF. Now I am at the stage where I am working on gold layer where I need similar code to identify the environment and other basic configuration and shared functions. I am creating similar notebooks in gold because my understanding is, it is sounding like duplication but it is controlled duplication and seems fabric pattern. Am I right with above approach or are their any other alternatives or suggestions to avoid it?

Hey all, Just wanted to let you all know that I have passed the DP-700 exam on the 30th December, 2025. what a way to finish the year. I must say a big thanks for Will for his YouTube video on DP-700 that helped me a lot. Prep wise, I didn't do much except for Will's video along with Aleksi's YouTube videos on DP-700 and the Microsoft Learn documentation. I did rely on experience with Fabric to help me pass this. I did get a few questions on monitoring and KQL. There were also questions that needed you to know the query insights views well. Other than that, most of it was related to working with Fabric itself. Good luck to anyone who is planning on taking this exam. It is definitely not an easy one. Next up, DP-600. I am going to be going through the resources from this community and more of the YouTube videos around this. Thank you

Happy to share that I have passed the DP-700 exam

Hi everyone, Excited to share that I have cleared DP 700 exam.Thanks @Will Needham

I passed my DP-600 yesterday. Thanks @Will Needham and members of the group that posted exam relevant tips. Won’t have known about the free exam voucher without this group! I prepared first by going through MS Learn, all the resources here on DP600 and then the day before the exam - “Learn with Priyanka’s exam video” which had a lot of exam relevant questions. As for the exam, notably there were about 15 questions on T-SQL, about 6 on CI/CD (if items were going to be deployed from one environment to the other, depending on the settings). I Plan to get a bit more hands on knowledge on Fabric Dojo before taking DP-700. Cheers 🎉
