Microsoft Fabric Beginners: Lakehouse, Notebooks, Power BI

Hands-on intro to OneLake, Lakehouse, Warehouse, pipelines, PySpark notebooks, and Power BI in Microsoft Fabric.

Learn Microsoft Fabric from scratch and understand how its core components work together to build modern data workflows.

In this hands-on course, you will create a Lakehouse, move and transform data, and connect everything to Power BI to build a complete end-to-end solution.

This course gives you a structured introduction to Fabric so you can confidently start working with its key features and services.

Learn how to use Microsoft Fabric to build modern data workflows, starting from the fundamentals and progressing to practical, hands-on use cases.

Microsoft Fabric is a unified analytics platform that combines data engineering, data integration, analytics, and business intelligence into a single environment. It brings together services such as Lakehouse, Data Warehouse, Dataflows, Pipelines, and Power BI into one integrated workflow.

This course is designed as a structured introduction. You will start with the basics and then build a complete workflow step by step, learning how the different Fabric components connect and interact.

What makes this course different

This course focuses on understanding how Fabric works as a system, not just as a collection of tools.

You will not only explore individual components like Lakehouse, Warehouse, or Pipelines, but learn how they fit together into a complete data solution.
