Just had a chance to look back at my session feedback from #FabConEurope: 🛡️ End-to-End Security in #MicrosoftFabric: 9.1/10 🔁 Fabric Write-Back with #PowerBI, #PowerApps & #SQLDBinFabric : 9.73/10 Huge thanks to everyone who attended, and a special shoutout to my co-speaker @jonvoge.bsky.social

Starting this Friday by learning about advanced #DevOps in #MicrosoftFarbric Livestream on KratosBI www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc9I...

💡 Did you know your Fabric Warehouse can be either case-sensitive or case-insensitive? By default, it’s case-sensitive (Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8), but you can switch the workspace setting before you create it or use the REST API to change it afterwards. #MicrosoftFabric #DataWarehouse #SQL

Did you know you can open a Fabric Warehouse in Visual Studio Code by simply clicking on the "Open in Visual Studio Code" button in the Warehouse Explorer? This is a game-changer for pro-developers! 🎉 #FabricWarehouse #MicrosoftFabric

One of the best parts of the #Microsoft MVP program isn’t the award, it’s the people. 🙏 Grateful for the 1-1 learning opportunities, technical growth, and speaker skills I’ve gained collaborating with amazing MVPs & Microsoft staff across the globe. #MVPBuzz

Finally got my 2025–2026 MVP disc! 🎉 Keeping the tradition alive with another fun placement video. 😊 #MVPBuzz #MicrosoftFabric #PowerBI #Microsoft

"When is 'Access Restricted' good? 😅 When your #MicrosoftFabric workspace is locked down with workspace level Private Link! Spent Sunday afternoon geeking out with private link and it worked! 🎉 #FabricWarehouse #WorkspaceSecurity learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric...

Wait… the default semantic Power BI model in Fabric is already gone in my tenant? 😄 Super happy that it is gone! Less clutter and more intentional modeling. blog.fabric.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/s... #MicrosoftFabric #PowerBI #SemanticModel

#MicrosoftFabric news 🎉 Workspace-level Private Link (Preview) is here! Lock down individual workspaces with private endpoints. 🔗 learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric... #DataSecurity

Are you just starting with Power BI or new to the BI world? Here's a book I highly recommend: "Data Modeling with Microsoft Power BI" by @mehrenmueller.bsky.social . I had the honor to have been a technical reviewer. Excellent book as you work through Power BI projects. #PowerBI #DataModeling

💡Even though KQL is one of the easiest query languages to learn, if you need a little boost, check out Copilot in KQL Queryset. Super useful whether you're learning. Copilot is available in all Fabric capacities #MicrosoftFabric #KQL #Copilot #RealTimeIntelligence

Honored to have been a technical reviewer for Fundamentals of Microsoft Fabric by @datamozart.bsky.social and @bweissman.bsky.social A must-read for anyone diving into #MicrosoftFabric. www.oreilly.com/library/view... #DataCommunity #OReilly @oreilly.bsky.social
