This month, I’m teaching two of my classes live, online, completely free!

These are the two fundamentals classes that I think everybody should start with, regardless of their experience with SQL Server or Azure SQL DB. I’ll teach you the most important parts about how the database engine works, plus how to use free scripts to troubleshoot what’s going on with your database’s health and performance.

If you’re a senior database person in your shop, you might even want to send these to your fellow team members to get ’em started on the right foot. Anybody can attend these – from report writers to developers to sysadmins – and I often hear from senior folks who say, “Whoa, I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know in here too!”

I’m teaching them twice – one version in the morning and another week in the afternoon – to try to meet up with your schedules. Click on each link to download a calendar invite, which will also show you which time it is in your own time zone:
