New to data engineering
Welcome to the forum. Do you have a question?
Hi everyone,
I’ve been deep-diving into Microsoft Fabric recently, completing several learning modules and gaining hands-on experience with Azure. I managed to set up a practice environment using an educational account and I was honestly fascinated by the platform's potential for Data Engineering.
Unfortunately, my educational account was recently blocked without a clear reason, and I am currently unable to access Fabric through my work account due to organizational restrictions.
Since I am committed to specializing in Fabric and building a professional portfolio, I’m looking for advice: What are the best alternative ways to access a Fabric sandbox or trial for individual learning? Are there specific developer programs or 'Pay-as-you-go' options that don't require a corporate/work-managed tenant?
I really want to keep practicing and professionalizing my skills. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!"
