Hello Utrecht! Just arrived to the Netherlands, ready for three days of learning, sharing, and networking at Power BI Gebruikersgroep Gebruikersdag 2026. #PBIG2026

Great dashboards start with great architecture. @datamozart.bsky.social explains why understanding data architecture is essential for every analytics engineer making daily technical decisions.

Data is everywhere (except where you actually need it)😊 The old answer was: 'ETL everything'! The new answer is #MicrosoftFabric. This is a leading theme in my brand-new session that will have its premiere at #FabCon Atlanta. We'll compare shortcuts, mirroring, and Copy Job features.

This is a great write-up by Tony Alicea, my fellow Pluralsight author, about the (possible) future of self-paced online education. As someone who is deeply in this topic, I thoroughly enjoyed the reading: tonyalicea.dev/blog/the-fut...

What do Michael Jordan and Open Table Formats have in common?! They are both number 23! And, while everyone knows MJ and his legendary shirt number, Open Table Formats: Core Concepts is my 23rd published course at @pluralsight.bsky.social! app.pluralsight.com/ilx/video-co...

NEW BLOG POST! You’ve probably spent the last year hearing about Lakehouses and Warehouses until your ears are ringing. If a Lakehouse is a massive library and a Warehouse is a high-end bank vault, the Eventhouse is a 24-hour Air Traffic Control Tower. data-mozart.com/the-new-hous...
