Hi everyone

Thanks for your patience while we confirmed all the details for June's events. Last month we renamed the London Power BI User Group to the London Fabric User Group to recognise the broad range of capabilities, including Power BI, that are available as part Microsoft Fabric - announced on the day of the last user group.

Whilst we were exited to bring you the announcements hot off the press as they were being announced in Seattle, it was a little frustrating not being able to show you Fabric, so we promised that we'd arrange this for the next session.

So for this month's meetup, we have two great sessions lined up for you.

Session 1 with Mathias Thierbach:

What's new for Power BI Source Control

Learn about three recent substantial innovations for Power BI Pro Developers: TMDL, Power BI Developer Mode, and Workspace Git Integration. TMDL, the new Tabular Model Definition Language, was announced in Public Preview in April 2023. It is a new declarative format for Power BI tabular models that is designed to be human readable and editable as well as collaborative. It is perfectly suited for use of source control and CI/CD when developing tabular models in a professional environment. Mathias contributed the language design and implementation to the Power BI product team as part of their Community Contributor Program. Learn from him, first-hand, what it is all about, how TMDL works, what problems it solves, and which tools are available. Power BI Developer Mode, released in Preview in Power BI Desktop June 2023, enables developer-centric workflows for reports and datasets. Instead of binary .PBIX files, Power BI projects are saved into a source-control friendly text format. Many people have been waiting for this feature for years! See how works, and what workflows it enables. Thirdly, the recent release of Microsoft Fabric has brought native git integration to Fabric/Power BI workspaces. Initially limited to Power BI reports and datasets, alongside Power BI Desktop Developer Mode. How is it enabled, what are the limitations during Preview, and what's coming?

Bio:

Head of Finance Systems at YouGov Plc, Data Platform MVP, and Developer of pbi-tools In 2015, after having spent over ten years as a Software Developer and Architect with Microsoft technologies, Mathias Thierbach moved into the Microsoft BI space. He soon landed on Power BI, but also realized quickly that the development and engineering tools and practices were nothing like the ones well established in software development. This is how pbi-tools started as a project, the only complete source control solution for Power BI. Today, leading a growing data management team at YouGov, he experiences the benefits of those efforts every day. Having open sourced the project in fall of 2021, Mathias spends a lot of his free time bringing source control and DevOps practices to the wider Power BI community now. In addition to his open source engagements, Mathias cares deeply about his role as an enterprise technology leader. Like many, once having started as a single contributor technologist, he had to pivot significantly when he moved into a manager role, responsible for building, stabilizing and growing a team of data engineers, analysts and architects. Mathias is now passionately sharing the many experiences and learnings that came out of that journey with the community.

Session 2 with Kasper de Jonge:

Introduction to Microsoft Fabric

Microsoft Fabric is here, and it fundamentally changes our data landscape. It introduces a Power BI like SaaS model for the data platform. You can now with a few clicks ingest data into the cloud by running pipelines, create a Lakehouse to make that data accessible and run Python, Spark, SQL and DAX on top of it. All in a single tenant, with single security as a SaaS platform.

In this demo filled session we will do a general overview of Microsoft Fabric so you will understand concept like OneLake, OneCopy and see how the workloads all work together. If you want to set up yourself and your career for success with Microsoft Fabric, this is the session for you!
