Last week, Greg Low’s Power Query webinar set a new high in terms of feedback and evaluations. Next week’s guest presenter Peter Myers may be able to top it!
In addition to being a world class presenter, Peter Myers will be covering his favorite topic: BI Features for developers. Peter may not get through every point listed below during his session — we looked into a longer duration to cover all the topics, but we heard your feedback that you prefer webinars be kept to one hour. Here's hoping that he'll come back and do a Part II in the future!
Later next week we're also holding the latest installment in the “What is new and exciting in Power BI” series. Last month, I went through all of the new features to Power BI Desktop and the Power BI service, and demoed most of them in just 50 minutes! This month I'm hoping to add more demos and do it in even less time… so don’t be late!
Power BI for the Developer by Peter Myers
In this session you will learn about the exciting new generation of Power BI delivering access to data and insights with Software as a Service (SaaS), and specifically what can be achieved by the software developer. You will learn that the new generation of Power BI enables developers to configure real-time dashboard scenarios, create custom visualizations and also integrate rich analytics in application experiences by embedding Power BI reports into we apps. Several demonstrations will illustrate how to configure real-time dashboards that programmatically push data to the Power BI service by using the Power BI REST API, and also how to integrate Power BI experiences with applications including the new Azure Power BI Embedded service.
This session will be of interest to architects and software developers looking to understand and evaluate the developer capabilities of Power BI.
