Learning is at its best when we make it a team sport, and this was all inspired by a question from one of our viewers!
If you are wondering, what is Fabric IQ, why should we use it, how do we use it, and what can it do? Then this is for you!
I applied my knowledge of agents to understand actions we could take, Chris added insight on ontologies & how they benefit us, Mark & Dan followed up with great questions.
Did you miss the big discussion on #MicrosoftFabric #FabricIQ with the PG & many other announcements from #Ignite
