The fastest way to (really) learn Fabric

Jun 17 (edited) in General

The DP-600 exam is great for giving you an appreciation for a wide range of topics, but does it really prepare you for life as an Analytics Engineer?

From speaking with a few of you, it seems you don't feel ready or comfortable yet, which is completely understandable!

The DP-600 tests your understanding of the theory, but in the real world, you are measured by your experience and ability to build solutions (how you can apply the theory).

As such, I always advise for people to get hands-on as early and as frequently as possible.

One of the best Microsoft resources is this list of hands-on exercises which guide you through a number of scenarios, and help you build confidence with the different tools that Fabric provides.

Have you tried these resources yet? Let me know what you think!

PS: I'm thinking about building a collection of hands-on tutorials which cover a lot of the core analytics engineering/ data engineering (and maybe wider?) tasks that you could expect in your career - would you find that useful?
