SQL Server 2012 BareMetal Workshop
In the last week of January I attended the SQL Server 2012 BareMetal workshop at Microsoft in Redmond. Dandy Weyn (blog | twitter), Microsoft Technical Product Manager, brought together MVPs, MCMs, Microsoft employees and a few regular guys like my myself for a special Train-the-Trainer event. This 2-3 day workshop focused on the key pillars of SQL Server 2012 through Hands-on-Experience!
Focus of this blog
Since this is my first post for 2012 I would like to start off by wishing all my readers a very happy and prosperous New Year!
In the past few weeks this is what I have been telling people “I am sure you think this blog sucks because it doesn’t have many technical posts”.
Context
During the past few weeks I interacted with a few people who said they read my blog which is surprising since most of these people prefer technical articles and my blog does not have many technical posts. Why are there limited technical posts?
T-SQL Tuesday #025 – Reporting on Reports
This month's T-SQL Tuesday blog party is being hosted by Allen White (Blog | Twitter) and the theme for the party is 'Sharing your T-SQL Tricks'.
This topic sounds like an easy topic to blog about but when I sat down and thought about it the first thing that had me stumped was the concept of what is considered a 'trick'. What I consider a trick might not be a trick to some people so I decided to stop thinking about tricks and start focusing on the concept of what makes someone's life/job easier. Finding out about information that I didn't know existed and learning how to take advantage of existing information always creates an 'Ah-ha' moment in my life. This brings me to my T-SQL Tuesday focus on Reporting Services.
SQLSaturday #102 Review
On November 11th we hosted SQLSaturday #102 in Trinidad and Tobago. Putting this event together was not simple but I believe that was because of the fact that it was the first time we were hosting it in the Caribbean and also it was the first time that I was planning an all-day event. Besides the issues the event was in my eyes an overall success!
We had a total of 86 people registered but on the day of the event we had 68 attendees from 35 different organisations. The attendees included Database Administrators, System Administrators, Software Developers, Analysts, Consultants, Team Leads, Managers and Company Owners.
One More Day before SQLSaturday #102!
Today is the last day to register for SQLSaturday #102 Trinidad and Tobago!
We have PASS President and SQL Server MVP, Rushabh Mehta as well as SolidQ Mentor, Joe Chang flying in today. We also have two local speakers stepping up for the event, Hasani Holder and Jason Deyalsingh. I will also be presenting on a requested topic.
PASS Summit 2011 Review: Day 2- Day4
I had composed a review of Day 1 while I was at the summit and even though my plan was to write reviews for each day while at the summit; my days were so busy that I never got a chance to finish them. When I got back to Trinidad, I decided to sum up the events for the day into one post however this post also suffered some delays due to all my free time being focused on SQLSaturday #102.
Finally I was able to complete this post, let the review begin!
