Hello, everyone! Thanks for attending my webcasts. For the next 13 weeks, I'll be talking about different topics in SQL Server 2012. There's a placeholder below for the subsequent weeks. The first week (3/23), I'll be talking about the new Columnstore index in SQL Server 2012.
I'm the SQL Server/Business Intelligence Practice Manager for SetFocus (www.setfocus.com), a Microsoft-certified partner for Learning Solutions. I encourage people to check out our free training portal (http://freetraining.setfocus.com), where we have over 100 hours of free training videos on .NET, SQL Server, Business Intelligence, and SharePoint topics.
I have several people to thank for this opportunity to deliver webcasts for Microsoft. Chris Caldwell and Eric Ostrowski at Microsoft have been very helpful in getting me set up for these webcasts.
My editors and friends at CoDe Magazine (http://www.code-magazine.com), Rod Paddock and Erik Ruthruff (and of course, the people who run the magazine, Markus Egger and Ellen Whitney), have been a huge source of support for my Baker's Dozen series in the magazine since 2004. Many opportunities would never have happened without their support!
And last, but certainly not least, my employer SetFocus (www.setfocus.com), for the opportunity to train on SQL Server and the BI tools. If you have training needs in the .NET, SQL Server, Business Intelligence, or SharePoint areas, please contact us!
On the Friday of each presentation, I'll post a download for the demo code/slides for that day. As of 3/30, we've done two presentations so far:
