Video: Top 10 Mistakes That Won’t Scale

I wish I could be at the PASS Europe Summit this week, but since I can’t, I’ve recorded my presentation.  I’ll be giving this live via LiveMeeting too at the Summit, answering questions over video if PASS is able to get a working camera set up.  I salute the heroic efforts of PASS volunteers Charley Hanania and Oliver Engels, who are working with the speakers to get everything coordinated.  Fantastic work.

The first 5-10 seconds are just the slide to make it easier for the live presentation to get started, so hang in there.

If, like Depeche Mode, you just can’t get enough, here’s some more training goodies:

    It was like you were talking right to me when you talk about the functions. I am having to explain this to my developers. They keep wanting to put the UDF in the WHERE clause. It makes me want to pull my hair out.

    Superb.. Inspirational.. what can i say… the fire for learning SQL Server had never died in me; but had waned to an extent.. its ablaze and all over the place now… thx for such a well-presented (loved the images; always a lot more interesting than reading pages of text) and using simple language .. and speaking slowly of course! Thx again!
