It allows querying Lakehouse data using SQL without needing to move the data elsewhere.</p> <p>Today's learning was more about understanding the architecture and concepts rather than building something complex, but it gave me a clearer picture of how modern analytics platforms are evolving.</p> <p>My goal over the next 60 days is to consistently learn Microsoft Fabric, document my progress, and eventually build real-world projects on top of it.</p> <p>If you're learning Microsoft Fabric as well, I'd be interested to know what topics or projects you're currently working on.</p> <h1> MicrosoftFabric #DataEngineering #Lakehouse #Analytics #CloudComputing #LearningInPublic #DataScience </h1> dataengineering learning microsoft sql
