  Companies like PlanetScale and Oracle are providing curated libraries of Skills that allow AI coding assistants, such as Claude Code or Cursor, to interact directly with databases. Skills, Skills, Skills...the latest buzzword in this era of AI induced coding practices. This time they come for the Database to enable agents to perform complex tasks like automated schema optimization, security audits and CSV data ingestion with higher precision and lower token consumption. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/18846-agentic-skills-for-the-database-.html

  This article explains concurrency in Python including topics like multithreading, multiprocessing, race conditions, and synchronization mechanisms such as locks. We’ll then take a deep dive into switching off GIL to enable  real  multithreading in Python, highlighting the differences, the benefits and the gotchas with clear code examples. https://blog.geekuni.com/2026/04/python-concurrency.html

  Learn about Microsoft Fabric and its applications of ML through a project analyzing Titanic's passenger data. This tutorial is an end-to-end demonstration of Microsoft Fabric that guides learners from descriptive and diagnostic analytics to predictive analytics using the popular Kaggle Titanic dataset. The goal of the tutorial is to train a binary classification machine learning model capable of predicting whether an individual would have survived or perished on the Titanic, based on personal details like their age, gender, and ticket class. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/150-training-a-education/18831-microsoft-fabric-machine-learning-tutorial-the-course.html

  It's a full curriculum that lives solely on its Github repository. And it's really full; it spans from installation basics to advanced production workflows which also include Agent Skills for automating team standards, specialized agents for targeted expertise, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for connecting the AI to external data sources like GitHub repositories and live documentation. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/150-training-a-education/18824-github-copilot-cli-for-beginners-the-course-.html

  Microsoft has launched the Azure Skills Plugin, a comprehensive toolkit designed to transform AI coding assistants into active cloud deployment agents. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18819-the-azure-skills-plugin-makes-deployment-and-management-a-breeze.html
