Hey everyone - hope you're doing well! We're continuing to invest in Fabric Dojo to make it the ultimate environment for learning Fabric Data Engineering. We recently crossed over 50 hours of exclusive content, across over 150 hands-on projects and tutorials (see full list), organised into a 10-module roadmap. All targeted towards teaching you the hands-on skills and experience to thrive in Fabric Data Engineering - giving you the confidence to build real-world solutions, and get hired. Aaaanddd, we're not stopping there! 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐣𝐨 In 2026, we're bringing on-board a number of technical experts to share their expertise with our Fabric Dojo members to ensure they can build the deep technical skills that companies are looking for. 📢 Very excited to announce that Rui Carvalho (LinkedIn) is delivering a series of five tutorials in Fabric Dojo on the Fundamentals of Spark - the stuff you really need to get right when writing Spark code. Rui is a true expert in Data Engineering & Spark in particular, and he's a great teacher, so we're lucky to have him! You can enjoy his content (and the other 150+ tutorials) by signing up today. 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐨𝐣𝐨 I asked our members what they would like most from the Dojo going into 2026, and the answer was three things: 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭-𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 - we have now delivered TWO real-world projects over a period of 10 weeks, these are extensive projects that help tie together all the other learnings in the Dojo. One Intermediate level, and the other an Advanced-level project. Note: the real-world projects are for members on Premium tier only. 𝘈𝘐-𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘋𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 - this will be a core focus in Q1 2026. Recent innovations in LLMs mean the workflow for developing Data Engineering solutions in Fabric has changed. We'll be going deep on what this looks like and how to take advantage of these recent AI updates.
