Data & Analytics
Build knowledge of data engineering, Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, BI, analytics and databases.
Modern data platforms succeed when information remains trustworthy from ingestion through transformation, modeling and consumption. Partitioning, governance, lineage, semantic models and operational monitoring shape both cost and reliability. Product features matter, but decisions about consistency and ownership often matter more.
Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst (PL-300) focuses on analytical modeling and reporting. Microsoft Fabric Data Engineer (DP-700) addresses data engineering workflows, while Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate emphasizes the design and operation of data solutions on Databricks. These represent complementary perspectives rather than an automatic progression sequence.
