Gilbert Quevauvilliers lays out the plan:
This is the first blog post in a series of blog posts where I dive into how to use Python notebooks instead of Spark notebooks. For example, I will show you how to run a SQL query from a Lakehouse table and get it into a data frame. Read and write to a Lakehouse table and more.
NOTE: This is still in preview, but I personally think that this is worth investing time in learning.
The reason I am using the term Python is because the notebook can ONLY use Python and not any of the other languages available in a Spark
Also, in fairness, I’ve heard people working on Microsoft Fabric within the company reference these as ‘Python notebooks,’ so Gilbert is in good company.
