Help! As a .NET developer, I'm afraid of drowning in that big lake of data stuff

Overview

In today's data-driven world, .NET developers are increasingly required to collaborate with data engineers and analysts to build robust and efficient data-driven solutions. Having no data affinity, I wanted to break out of my comfort zone and explore this data thing. However, things got pretty confusing, pretty soon. Should I focus on data warehouses, lakes, swamps, or lakehouses? Is ELT a typo? Should I learn Greek first to understand these delta, kappa, and lambda architectures? And what should I do to get a bronze, silver, or gold data medal? This session will be packed with information I wish I had when starting my data journey. You will also get practical guidance on how to implement your data solutions using Azure PaaS and Data components. By the end of this session, you will be able to engage in meaningful discussions with other data professionals without feeling like an imposter.
