Welcome to Sesame Street… but for data engineers! In this fast‑and‑fuzzy 20‑minute session, we’ll explain the one thing—and the ONLY thing—you really need to know about Microsoft Fabric. No jargon, no complexity, just a bright, Muppet‑friendly lesson on how Fabric brings all your data, all your analytics, and all your workloads together in OneLake.
With the help of a few familiar puppet‑shaped friends, we’ll break down Fabric’s unified platform in the simplest way possible: what it is, why it matters, and how it changes everything for anyone who works with data.
