We're excited to be back after the summer, and looking forward to hosting Will Needham for September's London Fabric User Group meetup.

Life after DP-600: How to thrive as a Fabric Analytics Engineer

Many people have now taken the DP-600 exam to become a certified Fabric Analytics Engineer - which serves as a great stepping stone into the world of analytics engineering. But when I speak to people in the community, there still seems to be a knowledge and experience gap for many on how to make to jump to becoming an effective Fabric Analytics Engineer, in practice.

In this talk, we will explore together what an effective analytics engineering solution looks like, and provide a roadmap for you to follow to become comfortable creating such solutions.

You will learn:

which problems analytics engineering solves
what skills make an effective Analytics Engineer in practice
how you can transfer existing skills and experience you have to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Analytics engineering is (in my biased opinion) one of the highest leverage capabilities that a data professional, and a company, can develop because it unlocks high-quality, analytics that you can rely on (whether that be AI or BI). I can't wait to share my passion on this topic with you all!
