Enabling AI in your Data Practice with Ginger Grant
About this Event
This workshop will provide participants with the knowledge and tools to create an enterprise-ready Microsoft Fabric environment. The workshop covers everything from getting started, gathering data from different sources, transforming the data into an analytical model, securing access, and monitoring its performance. As Fabric provides many different methods for performing these tasks, we will cover a variety of different development tools, including using shortcuts, copying data, pipelines, Data Flow Gen 2, and notebooks, and explain which is the best choice in a given situation.
Participants will practice the steps in hands-on exercises using medallion architecture to transform the data into an analytical lakehouse, which can be used for ad-hoc querying and, of course, as a source for Power BI reports. Participants will learn how to provide ongoing maintenance, security, and monitoring of the lakehouse to ensure it is an enterprise-level solution. The workshop experience and examples will provide participants with the knowledge needed to implement the techniques to create their own lakehouse.
By the end of the session, participants will not only understand the technical steps involved but also when and why to choose a lakehouse architecture for their organizational data needs.
