Dive into SQL in Fabric with Live Expert Guidance | Learn Together Series

[slindsay]

I’ll be the first to admit - keeping up with all the new features and capabilities in Microsoft Fabric feels overwhelming. When SQL database in Fabric was announced, I knew I wanted to dive in and learn more, but I wasn’t sure where to start. That’s why I’m so excited about this live, 6-session series. It’s designed to help anyone, from total SQL newbies like me to more advanced users, get a solid understanding of SQL in Fabric. What’s even better? We can learn alongside experts who are there to answer our questions as we go.

The Learn Together series will walk us through learning materials that exist on Microsoft Learn, so, if you're more of a self-paced learner (or a super-prepared marvel), feel free to check them out!

Over six sessions spread across two weeks, experts will guide us through SQL in Fabric in manageable steps. These live sessions give us a chance to ask questions and get real-time answers, and they'll also be available on demand afterward. It's a unique opportunity to learn about SQL in Fabric with guidance from the people who know it best!

Over the course of hour-long live sessions, we’ll explore SQL database in Microsoft Fabric and learn about everything from the very basics to more advanced topics.

Here’s what we can expect:
