On October 22-23rd, you can attend Quest Connect, a free series of technology webcasts given by the subject matter experts at Quest. Kevin Kline and I will be talking about our top ten favorite features of SQL Server 2008 – things like compression, policy-based management and the resource governor. We’ll be discussing these from a high level, talking about when you want to implement these features and how they’ll pay off. We won’t be covering technical implementation details, but rather helping you figure out which features you want to learn and get trained on.
Kevin & I recorded our presentation ahead of time, and it’ll start at 9am Central time. If you can’t make it, don’t worry, we’ll come to your office and give it to you personally. And by “personally” I mean “recorded months in advance and delivered via MP4 or WMV.”
Another SQL-focused webcast will be given by Jason Hall and Denny Cherry, who will be looking under the hood in 2008 to diagnose performance problems.
We’ve got a lot of other smart people lined up to talk about virtualization, Sharepoint, System Center, and more. I’ve been consistently amazed by the deep resources inside Quest covering all kinds of technology – these guys know their stuff. (Except me – I’m amateur hour.)
