To get the most out of this book

Microsoft Fabric is delivered as a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution. As a result, all software updates and patching are handled by the service. While there are additional tools such as Visual Studio Code or Azure Data Studio that can be used to extend the developer experience, this book has been written in a way that only requires a modern web browser to complete all the tutorials.

Software/hardware covered in the book	Operating system requirements
