On September 2019, it was announced that the Microsoft Data and AI South Florida User Group is the new name for the Microsoft Business Intelligence User Group of South Florida. The user group will continue to cover Data Platform, Artificial Intelligence technologies along with Internet of Things (IoT) with a name that better aligns with the direction taken and presentations delivered by the group for over a year. On March 2018, Adriano da Silva became President along with Marcos Germano and Theo Vaca as Board Members of the Microsoft Business Intelligence User Group of South Florida. Together, we are expanding the group's scope beyond its original roots in Business Intelligence to include new technologies. The group was founded on August of 2012 by Luis Figueroa and on September of 2014, David Ortiz took over as President and has continued to drive the vision of the group.
The objective of the group is to facilitate a forum for technology professionals in the South Florida area to network, share experiences and learn from industry experts and peers about the Microsoft and other technologies. The group is also focused on helping local professionals to grow and to become more involved with the SQL Server and technology community. In addition to this, the group will allocate a space for its interested members whom are new to public speaking to do short presentations during the first part of the meeting.
Everyone is welcome to join the group and/or meetings and networking events. There is no membership or admission fee. You will enjoy been part of this community and we look forward to your contributions.

Microsoft Fabric CI/CD Clicks or Code: The No-Code and Pro-Code CI/CD options
·OnlineOnlineThe Clicks or Code: The No-Code and Pro-Code CI/CD options in Microsoft Fabric is presented by Daniel Patkos and hosted by Adriano da Silva at the Microsoft Data and AI South Florida user group.
- ABSTRACT:
🎯 Microsoft Fabric gives you more ways to handle source control and CI/CD than ever - which makes life easier and harder at the same time.
📌 TOPICS COVERED:
* Microsoft Fabric CI/CD
* Azure DevOps
* GitHub Actions
* Deployment Pipelines
* and much moreDo you stay in the UI with Git integration and deployment pipelines?
OR
Do you reach for fabric-cli and the fabric-cicd Python library to script your releases?
Both camps have loyal fans, and both hide surprises too.In this session, we'll walk through the options side by side, from point-and-click workflows to fully automated pipelines in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions. Through live demos we'll show what each approach does well, where it gets painful, and at what point it's worth combining them.
You'll walk out with a clear picture of the landscape and a practical sense of when to choose clicks, when to choose code, and when the answer is a bit of both.

> BIOGRAPHY:
I began my career as a business and technology consultant, quickly transitioning into implementation and BI development. I’ve used several BI tools along the way — Tableau, Domo, and Spotfire — but Power BI has been the core of my work for many years.My focus started with data visualization and clear data communication, and has grown to include data architecture and development practices. I’m currently working with Microsoft Fabric and promoting the use of source control and CI/CD to improve the Power BI development lifecycle.
