Level: 200 (Intermediate)[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In this daylong session, we’ll review all the various infrastructure components that make up the Microsoft Azure platform. When it comes to moving SQL Server systems into the Azure platform having a solid understanding of the Azure infrastructure will make migrations successful and making support solutions much easier.

Designing your Azure infrastructure properly from the beginning is extremely important. An improperly designed and configured infrastructure will provide performance problems, manageability problems, and can be difficult to resolve without downtime.

As Azure scales out around the work many more companies, no matter where they are located, will be begin moving services from data centers into the Azure and a solid foundation is key to successful migrations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″]

Level: 200 (Intermediate)[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]DAX is the data modelling language of Power Pivot, Power BI and SSAS Tabular Edition. It is reasonably easy to get started with DAX, particularly if you come from a SQL background, however sooner or later most people hit a wall where they get stuck and can’t move forward. Have you ever typed a DAX formula, pressed enter and the crossed your fingers hoping you will get the right answer? If this sounds like you, then chances are there are some deeper concepts that you don’t fully understand, and these gaps are stopping you from moving forward.

In this full day pre-con session, Matt Allington (Author of the book Learn to Write DAX) will clearly explain how the DAX language really works under the hood. At the end of the session you will fully understand filter propagation, initial filter context and evaluation contexts. The session will use real world examples to explain the concepts. This is not a beginner’s course – you should already know the basics of DAX before attending.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/rsu3lHwFpW4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″]

Level: 200 (Intermediate)[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]-Have you ever needed to develop hundreds of similar SSIS packages?
-Have you ever been in a situation where you need to refactor some code in all this packages because of a design change to the underlying data?
-Do you want to adopt a more agile approach towards data warehouse design?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, then this full day of training is for you.
You will need to bring your own laptop for this full day of hands on training, where we will start by introducing BIML (Business Intelligence Markup Language), showing the syntax, the tools. We will then move on from BIML to BIMLScript and guide you to building a reusable, extensible metadata driven solutions (built on MDS, a simple database or even Excel) for generating the SSIS packages used for your ETL process.
Underway we’ll have a look at how to implement common data warehouses patterns in BIML such as early arriving facts, slowly changing dimensions and change data capture.

What you will leave this session with is the foundation for a BIML Script framework, that will allow you to tear-down and recreate your ETL process in minutes, instead of having to recode each package by hand.
Prerequisites:

Level: 300 (Advanced)[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]You keep hearing about the machine learning and R recently. R become a language for data analysis and machine learning that makes the need for learning it more clearly. Moreover, Microsoft introduces R server as a comprehensive platform for using machine learning and R functionality inside the data analysis tools such as SQL Server 2016 and Power BI.

This course contains of four main modules: how to do machine learning inside Power Query, how to draw complex data visualization inside Power BI report using R scripts, how to create custom visual using R scripts and finally how to set up and use some of the available Custom visual in Power BI office store.

First Module “Advance Visualization with R” (1.5 hours)

Some R visual that we do not have in Power BI and we able to draw them with the help of writing R scripts. Chart like “column with Chart, “Facet chart with different sub chart”,” Slope Chart”, Polar charts, normal distribution, correlation analysis and so forth.

In this module, people get familiar with the below items;

  1. How to set up power BI to write R scripts inside R visual editor
  2. Get familiar with ggplot2 package and its related charts like geom_bar, geom_jitter, geom_point and so on
  3. How to works with aes() function to show different variables in a charts, facet_wrap(), ggplot(),geom_vline(), geom_text() and so on.
  4. How to debug the written r scripts inside Power BI with R studio
  5. How to draw a Facet chart to show 5 different variables in one chart
  6. How to draw a slope chart to show the changes of a variable between two different time, branch etc.

Second Module, Create custom Visual with R scripts (1 hour)

In the most of the reports, there is a need to draw a visual that may be not built in by Power BI standard visual or power BI office store. Also, sometimes, we want to just create a custom visual as a black box that people able to import them and use them without seeing the code behind them (because security reason, easy to use, avoided unwanted change)

There is a possibility to draw a custom R visual using R scripts. In this module, I will show how to create a custom visual by following some steps

  1. Get familiar with plotly package in R
  2. How to install power bi visualization tools inside the command prompt
  3. How to create a template folder via command Pbiviz in command prompt
  4. How to change the R scripts, pbiviz.json files to create your own visual
  5. How to publish the visualization, create it as a pbiviz files and imported it to Power BI

Third Module, Machine learning inside Power query using R scripts (3 hours)

In this module, I will talk about the main concepts of machine learning and, I will introduce some of the algorithms with the concept behind them, how to have them in power BI using R scripts inside the power query editor, how to enhance them and how to visual them.

  1. What is overfitting and underfitting in machine learning
  2. Algorithm for prediction of a group, KNN (k nearest neighbor)
  3. The main concepts and statistic behind KNN
  4. How to find the best K value (number of the nearest neighbor)
  5. How to evaluate a classification algorithm (example KNN) talking about the accuracy measure like “accuracy”, “Recall”, “Precision” and so on.
  6. Algorithm for clustering, K-mean clustering
  7. how k-mean cluster works (concepts behind it)

  14. Th main concepts of NN
  15. How to have it inside power BI, how to draw a network in report
  16. How to identify the number of hidden nodes
  17. Forecasting (Time series) the main concepts behind it, What Exponential Smoothing, its difference with Arima
  18. How to show them inside power BI and using R codes

Fourth module, Available R custom visual in office store for Power BI (0.5 hours)

In this module, I will talk about the available machine learning and advance analytics charts inside Power BI such as clustering, time series, and decision tree, how to use them and how to set up the parameters for them.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/whLiO0Y_8lA”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″]
