Hey everyone - how was your summer?! We are BACK with a bang (after a well-earned break), we're going to be ramping it up a few levels in September (and beyond).
To reiterate: the goal of this community is to provide a free resource that helps YOU stay up-to-date with Microsoft Fabric, make sense of the chaos/ updates/ features, ultimately to advance your career.
AND, to support this goal (and you), I'm delighted to announce the following major improvements to this community for September onwards:
๐ง๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ ๐จ๐ฝ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐:
We're fortunate to have two new team members join the Community Management team:
- (Community Lead) - Yael will help with all things Community! Helping you get onboarded, answering queries, and ensuring the Community continues to be a fun and valuable resource for all our members!
- (Tech Lead) - Sambhav knows a LOT about Fabric, and the pitfalls of implementing it in enterprise environments, he'll provide another perspective on technical queries that pop up in the community!
- Will - no change here, I'll still be here, just with more support now ๐
๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐/ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐จ๐ฝ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐:
- 13 Sept - Fabric Monthly Updates & Catch - we've added a regular monthly live call! This will be a cross-community call to talk through the latest product updates, and updates from Fabric Dojo and LMF Communities, and the YouTube channel.
- If you're looking for more live events - I recommend joining Fabric Dojo, as we have 6 live events planned for September, including an in-person meetup at FabCon Vienna, Fabric Architecture Review session, Q&A Session, Mastermind!

Speaking of which... Fabric Dojo is our second community here on Skool - built specifically to accelerate your learning journey in Fabric Data Engineering & Analytics Engineering. It's where I spend most of my time helping our members! In the Dojo, since August 2024, we've been developing the most complete set of Fabric Data Engineering hands-on learning resources available in the world (more than one year of constant development!), and we're continuing to add to the resources, as Fabric changes, and as everyone gets better. - We did the DP-700 Bootcamp in Q1 2025
- We have over 120 hands-on tutorials and projects, split across the following modules: Dataflow Gen2, Data Pipelines, CI/CD, Data Warehousing & T-SQL, REST APIs, Data Quality, Lakehouses/ Spark/ Notebooks/ Python, Real-time, Security, Administration, Monitoring, Capacity Management, Solution Architecture.
- Our current focus is on going deeper on Fabric CI/CD - as it's one of the biggest challenges for those implementing Fabric currently!
- We have six live events scheduled for September, so come along and meet people on the same journey as you! These events include: an in-person meetup at FabCon Vienna, Fabric Architecture Review, Q&A Session, Mastermind & more!
The reason I mention Fabric Dojo is that the price will increase at the end of this month (September), so I want to give you advanced warning. You can sign up today and keep the current rate, forever. I recommend the Annual membership, which unlocks all the content we've been developing over the past 12 months, plus you get 3 months free. We also have discounts for Teams, reach out to me to discuss this in more detail (the Team price will also go up at the end of the month). ๐ข๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐๐:
