I noticed today that there are surprisingly few samples/blog posts/guides about how to write (and read) data into warehouse from Fabric notebook. You can find lot of information about doing it through T-SQL Notebook, but you can actually use it from Spark Notebook through the Spark connector. Let me show you how.

During early December, Microsoft held a Fabric certification challenge, which required participants to:
By completing these requirements, Microsoft would provide a free voucher for the DP-600 …
Proper secret management is one of the security fundamentals in software development. You should never hardcode credentials, secrets or tokens into your Spark Notebooks, because it creates a security vulnerability and adds extra complexity. Hardcoding secrets into Notebooks means that if you need to update any of the secrets you have to go through all the notebooks.
Azure Key Vault is a centralized secret management system, which helps you to …

Microsoft Fabric is an excellent product for storing both structured and unstructured data for data analysis and AI workloads. It is built on top of Azure Blob Storage, making data storage relatively cheap and easy to access. Fabric offers many built-in tools for data manipulation, including Dataflow Gen 2, Data Pipelines, and Notebooks. However, sometimes you need to access the data from outside of Microsoft Fabric, which is the topic …
I have been using Apple Watch to monitor my exercises, especially floorball exercises. While I love the Apple Watch product quality, ease of use and feel around my wrist it sadly lacks good statistic tools for exercise data. For example I tried to view the amount of training days within season 23-24 and I couldn’t find any way to do it. From that I got an idea to upload the …
