You could use a little training. Lucky for you, I know just where you can get it.
May 20 – BLITZ! 60 Minute Server Takeovers
In my session at the 24 Hours of PASS, I’ll show you how to take over a server you’ve never seen before and quickly figure out how it’s doing. The session is all demos from start to finish – just you, me, and a server full of land mines.
There’s a lot more great sessions too! PASS has picked some of the best speakers out there to give their best stuff. Check out the full list of sessions, and they’re all free!
May 27 – SQL Server for the Oracle DBA
Kevin Kline and Buck Woody have something in common: a dark past on the other side. If you know an Oracle DBA, invite them to this free webcast to learn how it works here in the point-and-click world.
Frankly, I’d watch this even if you’re not an Oracle DBA, because these two guys are funny no matter what they’re presenting!
June 9 – Top 10 Developer Mistakes that Won’t Scale
I'm watching you, Darmadi
At TechEd in New Orleans, session DAT316 will tell you all about the things that work great on your machine, but they fall over when you try to push real load at ‘em. This session is for developers and DBAs alike, and I’ll cover alternatives that will get the job done without killing your server. Unfortunately, this won’t be webcast.
The session catalog says I’m copresenting with Darmadi Komo, which is news to me. If he tries to steal any of my thunder, I’m going to give him a hulk hand to the man-parts. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.
I’ll also be at the TechEd cocktail reception in the Quest booth on Monday night, and at the TechEd Influencer Party on Tuesday night. Rumor has it Quest is putting on an event too – stay tuned.
