To share details about Microsoft Fabric and answer all questions from the Bulgarian audience, Magi Naumova – the founder of Azure Analytics User Group, invites experts and MVPs (Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals) to Ask Me Anything-type meetings. The first meeting from the series is titled “Microsoft Fabric – Is the hype real?”, and will take place on July 11th at 5:00 PM Bulgarian time.

“Microsoft Fabric outlines several important trends in the field of data analysis, such as the SaaS-inating the DataWarehouse, having OneDrive for enterprise data called OneLake, and storing data in open source format rather than a proprietary format. Using CoPilot & AI for report building, code development, or data processing automation becoming a part of the future in our field,” says Magi Naumova, the founder of Azure Analytics User Group and SQL&BI User Group in Bulgaria, MVP, and well recognized expert in the field.

“Microsoft Fabric promises major changes in this already rapidly evolving field. That’s why I invited my MVP colleagues with whom we organized Ask Me Anything meeting in Norway and it turned into a great event with large attendance from the community. The next step is to make an online meeting for the Bulgarian technology community. The Ask Me Anything format is unique, as the meeting turns into a discussion between us about Microsoft Fabric, sharing different opinions and experiences, as well as answering questions from participants. It’s quite different from watching a technical video presentation, and much more useful”, she added.

Knowledge of programming languages helps IT engineers assist software developers more effectively. The more the IT team knows about programming, the better they can adopt a DevOps strategy focused on continuous collaboration between developers and IT operators. Today we’ve chosen to bring you the top 7 programming languages that IT engineers need to learn according to ItPro today.

Top 5 Programming Languages Important for IT Engineers

Bash
Bash is used by most Linux distributions to provide a command line interface. It is the most important language that IT operations engineers need to learn. Even if you don’t administer Linux systems, many cloud environments and tools also default to Bash or Bash-like interfaces for administration, so knowing Bash will help IT engineers working in cloud environments.

PowerShell
For IT teams that work with Windows systems, PowerShell is an essential programming language. In Windows, IT engineers can use PowerShell to write scripts that automate a variety of tasks. PowerShell can also be used to access many Windows administrative functions (although in most cases these are also accessible through GUIs).

Python
Python is a good choice for IT engineers who want to program. They can use Python to automate system administration tasks as well as write simple applications. Python’s simplicity makes it a good language for IT engineers to learn who want to learn the basics of programming and software development to collaborate more effectively with software engineers.

JavaScript (and Node.js)
JavaScript may not seem like an obvious language for IT engineers to learn, given that most IT operations teams don’t have to write website code. With Node.js, however, JavaScript can also be used to execute code on servers, making it a viable language for system administration. It’s especially handy for IT engineers who want to create web-based interfaces for system administration.

Groovy
Groovy is not primarily used for system administration. But some people do use it for that purpose, which is why Groovy is worth considering if you’re an IT engineer looking for a programming language to learn. Groovy is probably less useful for IT than the other languages on this list, but it has its merits, especially for engineers who want to gain experience with the Java ecosystem.
