Session Title: Stop Hand-Whisking Your Data: Faster Fabric Development with the fabric-toolbox
Speaker: Laura-Jayne Adamson
Session Abstract:
You've got the kitchen. You know the recipe. So why does everything still take so long?
Microsoft Fabric gives you a powerful, unified platform, but knowing it exists and knowing how to work efficiently inside it are two different things. The fabric-toolbox, built and maintained by Microsoft's Customer Advisory Team, is the collection of baking tools that makes the difference between spending your afternoon whisking by hand and getting the job done in a fraction of the time.
In this session, we'll walk through a real data engineering workflow using the cake analogy: Fabric is your kitchen, your data is the ingredients, your pipelines and notebooks are the recipe, and the toolbox is everything that stops you doing things the hard way. Live demos throughout.
