Description
This course is a complete, hands-on masterclass on Microsoft Fabric, designed to take you from absolute fundamentals to advanced, real-world data engineering workflows. It is built with a strong focus on practical implementation, not just theory, and follows a clear learn-by-doing approach throughout.Microsoft Fabric is Microsoft's unified analytics platform, and mastering it requires a deep understanding of its architecture, storage layer, data ingestion tools, transformation capabilities, orchestration, monitoring, and large-scale processing engines. This course covers every major component of Microsoft Fabric in detail, ensuring you gain real production-level skills.You will begin by understanding the core foundation of Microsoft Fabric, including platform overview, account setup, tenants, workspaces, capacities, and item hierarchy. These concepts are explained clearly so you fully understand how Fabric operates at an organizational and enterprise level before moving into implementation.The course then moves into OneLake and Lakehouse architecture, where you learn how Microsoft Fabric unifies storage across analytics workloads. You will work with OneLake, OneLake File Explorer, create and manage Lakehouses, design tables, and implement shortcuts. Internal shortcuts, external shortcuts, and shortcut caching are covered in depth, giving you a strong understanding of data virtualization and storage optimization inside Fabric.A major strength of this course is its deep and practical coverage of Microsoft Fabric Data Factory. You will design pipelines step by step and work extensively with real pipeline activities used in production environments. This includes Copy Data, Delete, Get Metadata, Filter, Lookup, Parameters, ForEach, If Condition, Set Variable, Notification, Invoke Pipeline, and Wait activities. You will also learn how to schedule pipelines using triggers, automate workflows, and monitor pipeline runs, failures, and alerts. By the end of this section, you will be able to build fully automated and monitored data pipelines.The course also provides comprehensive training on Dataflow Gen2, focusing on data transformation using Power Query within Microsoft Fabric. You will work with string transformations, mathematical transformations, joins, diagram view, and loading transformed data into Lakehouse or Warehouse. This section bridges the gap between raw data ingestion and analytics-ready datasets.On the processing and analytics side, the course delivers in-depth coverage of Apache Spark in Microsoft Fabric. You will work with Spark pools and Spark notebooks and gain strong hands-on experience with PySpark. Topics include DataFrame creation, column selection and removal, filtering, sorting, grouping, handling null values, type casting, column transformations, Spark SQL, and data visualization within notebooks. These lessons prepare you to process large-scale data efficiently using Spark inside Microsoft Fabric.Throughout the course, special attention is given to monitoring, reliability, and automation, ensuring you understand how to track executions, handle failures, and maintain scalable, production-ready solutions.By the end of this course, you will have end-to-end practical expertise in building, transforming, orchestrating, and monitoring modern data engineering solutions using Microsoft Fabric.What This Course Covers (Content Highlights)Microsoft Fabric architecture, hierarchy, tenants, workspaces, capacities, and itemsOneLake fundamentals, OneLake File Explorer, and data organizationLakehouse concepts, creation, table design, and managementShortcuts in Fabric: internal, external, and caching strategiesSQL Endpoints and querying data in Microsoft FabricData Factory pipelines with real-world activities and automationPipeline scheduling, triggers, monitoring, failures, and alertsDataflow Gen2 with Power Query transformations and data loadingApache Spark in Microsoft Fabric with Spark pools and notebooksPySpark fundamentals and advanced transformationsSpark SQL and data visualization in notebooksEnd-to-end monitoring, automation, and best practicesWho This Course Is ForThis course is ideal for aspiring data engineers, BI professionals, developers, and analytics engineers who want practical, real-world expertise in Microsoft Fabric.
