Free Fundamentals Classes Are Coming Next Week! Register Now.
You’re a developer, analyst, database administrator, or anybody else working with SQL Server, Azure SQL DB, or Amazon RDS SQL Server. You want to learn how to make your databases go faster.
Good news! Next week, I’m teaching totally free half-day versions of my classes from 9AM-1PM Eastern time, 8AM-Noon Central, 6AM-10AM Pacific:
- Monday: Fundamentals of Index Tuning
- Tuesday: Fundamentals of Query Tuning
- Wednesday: Fundamentals of Columnstore
- Thursday: Fundamentals of TempDB
These half-day classes are totally free, no strings attached, and they’re a great way of getting started on your formal database education journey, or catching up on things that you’re a little too cocky to admit you didn’t know.
To attend, register here, then grab the calendar invites to block out your coworkers from trying to schedule you for meetings, hahaha. At the time of the class, head here for the live stream. (That URL is in the calendar invites too.)
If you can’t make the live classes, the recordings won’t be on YouTube or free – you’ll need to buy my Recorded Class Season Pass: Fundamentals bundle, which includes the full day-long versions of each of those classes, PLUS additional courses on Azure networking, PowerShell, parameter sniffing, and more. You can either buy one year of access, or lifetime access.
Be there or be square – see you in class!
Free, 3× a week

Three posts a week, plus a Monday roundup of the best database news from around the web.
Any Google Calendar links?
In the post up above, there’s a link to a page you can go to after you’ve registered, and the links are downloadable there. I only do the iCal links to keep it easy, and you can import those into any calendar app, I think.
Hey Brent, I’d love to join these sessions, but unfortunately that translates to 2:00am – 06:00am in New Zealand. If you run another of these in the future could you please conder doing an afternoon session? Thanks. Love your work. Pete.
Howdy! No, sorry, I’m a morning person, so I tend to do stuff like this in the mornings. Your best bet would be to purchase my training classes. Cheers!
I really thoroughly enjoyed the fundamentals class. Brent, your presentation skills are excellent; entertaining as well as informative. I missed the Monday session though, because I grabbed the November schedule instead of the October schedule. I know that’s really BAD, but because Monday was a day off (Columbus/Indigenous people Day) I “saw” what I expected to see. I’ll try to get the whole Monday session if I can find it. Wish this was available 10 years ago.
