A member of the community (no, it’s not me) is thinking about offering a live training course and wants your help to decide which of these topics are the best fit.
Here are 6 $395 live online 1-day classes, and what you’d learn in each class:

interesting. Thank you
At 400 bucks a pop? My answer is “none”.
They’re also missing a course… “How to migrate back to On-Prem”. 😀
Easy now man, let’s be constructive here. Thanks.
p.s. Looking back at my answer, some people will take that the wrong way. Anything you teach will be taught well. To clarify, the reason for my “none” answer is that it’s not likely that I could get my company to pay for such a thing and it would be just for my knowledge because the company doesn’t do a thing with Azure on the side of the fence that I work in.
Jeff, thanks for the kind words, but now you’re exposing that you didn’t even read the first ten words of the blog post.
Push yourself away from the keyboard, stretch, take a walk. 😉 I don’t want you touching SSMS in this condition, buddy.
Brent really cares!
Is this one of those “Hey Brent, my friend says…” ;P. Just kidding but it was ripe for the picking. In a similar boat to Mr. RBAR…
While we don’t use Azure. The Delta Lake class would be interesting. We’re researching Delta Lake to use with our AWS.
End-to-end Data Engineering In Azure With Apache Spark
Creating A Data Lakehouse In The Microsoft Cloud With Delta Lake
We have so much data across so many servers using linked servers (I know, not recommended but I would have to replicate data from about 50 servers to over 200 servers). We have data going in every different direction. I need to get a better solution in place. My thought is data lake may give me some insight how to sleigh this dragon.
I would love to do the compute&storage, data integration pipelines, and practical data modeling (for the DAX and Power BI dashhboards, something I haven’t done yet). I would also love to do the data lakehouse because we may get tasked with something like that next year. It’s hard to find good classes like these for the cloud. But I doubt I could get my work to pay for any of it. Is he planning to do any kind of package deals? Depending, I might be able to pay out of pocket for one class. Next month is the start of “my wife spends all of my money on family time of year” and I already budget for your package…
Compute & Storage 101 – An Engineer’s Guide to Every Azure Data Resource. Looks like a good foundational.
Microsoft Data Integration Pipelines – The Fundamentals to Level 300 seems like a good one for me as I’m thinking about transitioning from good ol’ buggy AF SSIS to ADF for my data pipelines.
Do it, you will never look back 😀
