SQLBits encompasses everything from in-depth technical immersions to the enhancement of valuable soft skills. The full agenda will be announced in the spring; in the meantime check out the timetable and content we cover below.
2024 Training Days
Presenting 2024’s selection of training days, encompassing a deep dive into a range of subjects with some of the best data trainers in the world.
- 08:00 Registration opens and breakfast served.
- All training days run simultaneously across the venue from 09:00 – 17:00 with co-ordinated breaks.
- All training days include regular refreshment breaks and a lunch stop to rest, recharge, and chat to fellow delegates.
- No evening events planned, but if you’re staying over the night beforehand, why not join us in the Aviator on Monday night to meet the training day speakers for an informal drinks reception.
Data Integrator
Beginner's Guide to Data Integration using Azure Data Factory or Azure Synapse Analytics
Description
What is at the core of every Business Intelligence, Data Science, and Machine Learning project?
Data.
You need data to understand what has happened in the past, to predict what may happen in the future, to discover patterns and anomalies, and to gain the insight necessary for making faster and better decisions.
But before you can do any of those things, you need to collect, store, transform, integrate, and prepare your data.
That's where you and I fit in! 🤓
In this full-day workshop, you will learn the skills you need to build and maintain data integration solutions in Azure Data Factory or Azure Synapse Analytics.
We will start completely from scratch with a conceptual overview, discuss when and why you would choose Azure Data Factory or Azure Synapse Analytics, and build a solution for ingesting data. Then, we will look at options for transforming and preparing data for further analysis, cover how to work with both on-premises and cloud data stores, and build dynamic pipelines as part of a metadata-driven solution. As we move from individual development to team development, we will cover source control, security, and review options for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). Throughout the day, we will cover best practices for development and evaluate how to optimize our solutions for both performance and pricing.
Get ready for a day full of learning, networking, and new ideas! 💡
