I'm Dinuraj, and I want to share with you five interesting articles I've read this week that I believe will be valuable to you.

1 - Microsoft Fabric - how Microsoft sees consolidation of the data platform

Microsoft launches Fabric, a new end-to-end data and analytics platform

2 - Microsoft Fabric also, but from the horse’s mouth

3 - More Microsoft Fabric, this time from a practitioner’s perspective

4 - Doing data work: Do it for the craft

5 - Beyond bar charts…

I hope these articles enriched your thinking with fresh perspectives and deeper insight. Let me know if any of the articles especially resonate with you, or you have topics that you want explored further.

If you found any value in this at all, do pass it along to your friends and colleagues who you think might benefit from it.

Thanks for joining me on this journey of expanding our knowledge about data. I'll see you again next week with more to learn.
