Last week, I noticed that an awful lot of you were buying my Level 2 and Level 3 Bundles with your own personal money (not company cards), so I wondered – if your company wasn’t paying for it, were they giving you time off? So I polled to ask if you were interested in taking the Mastering classes over the weekend, and an overwhelming majority of you wanted weekend versions.
So here you go, the first weekend rotation:
- Mastering Index Tuning: February 14-16, Friday/Saturday/Sunday
- Mastering Query Tuning: April 17-19, Friday/Saturday/Sunday
- Mastering Server Tuning: May 22-24, Friday/Saturday/Sunday
To make your weekend learning easier, I’m compressing these down to 10AM-4PM Eastern time (rather than the normal 9AM-5PM time.) It won’t change the amount of content, but I’ll just make the bio and lunch breaks way shorter since you’ll be at home on Sat/Sun, and won’t have to deal with as much noise from your coworkers – although you WILL have that pesky home life to deal with.
How much will they cost?
That’s a good question.
Normally I’d want to charge a lot more for weekend work because frankly, I’d rather goof off on my weekends.
But on the flip side, I think you would rather goof off on your weekends too, and those of you who are buying this with your own cash – you would probably rather use your money for something else, too. You’re choosing to invest your weekend time and your personal money with me.
And that’s kinda humbling.
And I kinda wanna reward you for that, not penalize you for it.
The weekend classes are included in the Live Class Season Pass, and they’re the same price as regular classes.
See you in class!

Brent, this right here makes you and your brand stand out far beyond among your peers. Thank you!
Cesar – you’re welcome!
Way to go Brent – fabulous idea!
Thanks for offering the weekend classes Brent; I know you care about the SQL community and this is just further proof. We appreciate you and Erica giving up a few weekends for us!
Becky – hahaha, it’s funny, Erika’s first reaction was, “YOU CAN’T GIVE UP ALL YOUR WEEKENDS!” I did a lot of calendar juggling to get weekdays off instead, heh.
Thank you! This really helps.
