The Workspace Folders feature was released quite a few months ago, which is useful for organizing your workspace a bit more. When it was released, however, one of the key limitations was that items you put in a folder couldn't be committed into Version Control (Azure DevOps). However, recently Microsoft announced (casually in the middle of an article about Deployment Pipelines) that you can now commit Items in Folders into version control. A slight caveat (from my own testing) is that the folder structure you create in your workspace is not respected in the Git repository; it's a flattened list of all your items (including those in Workspace Folders), Thanks to @Jordan Lazarus for spotting this 😀

Power Query (Dataflows gen2) has a user friendly GUI to generate ETL code, and hand coding is occasionally required to handle tricky cases. In contrast, impelemting ETL in Python mostly involves hand writing code. What is the future direction in MS Fabric in terms of Power Query vs Python? Is Power Query engine being improved so that Python will not be required? Or, is Python going to be the de-facto ETL language in Fabric? Instead of investing in time and effort to master both of these languages, is it worthwhile to focus on one and master it?

Do you know/recommend some naming convention or standard for Fabric items and workspaces?

So... this is some exciting news to share. For the last 3 months or so, I've been building a secret new project, called Fabric Dojo. The Private Preview stage is now complete (thanks to the 10+ of you that have been testing it!), so now it's time to share it with the world 🎉🥳 So what exactly is Fabric Dojo? Fabric Dojo is a brand-new community I am launching here on Skool, to train the next (first?) generation of Fabric Analytics Engineers and Data Engineers. The community is 100% hands-on, with new tutorials, projects and challenges each month. Over time, you'll gain the skills and practical experience you need to feel confident and competent building robust analytical systems in Fabric. All with constant support from myself and the community! Want to learn more? I'll be hosting a webinar on Saturday 31st August to tell you all about it.
