24 Hours of PASS: 15 Powerful Dynamic Management Objects - Deck and Demos

Thank you to everyone who attended today's 24 Hours of PASS webcast on Dynamic Management Objects! I was shocked, awed, and somewhat scared when I saw the attendee number peak at over 800. I really appreciate your taking time out of your day to listen to me talk.

It's always interesting presenting to people I can't see or hear, so I relied on Twitter for a form of nearly real-time feedback. I would like to especially thank everyone who left me tweets both during and after the presentation. Your feedback is extremely helpful.

Per the request of a few people, the deck and demos are attached. Note that these demos cover slightly more depth than what I did in the talk, since I only had 40 minutes and decided to go demoless (which I prefer in webcasts). This talk is also available in a live format, with full demos, for user groups and conferences; if you arrange either and are interested, contact me through the blog and we can discuss.

Again, thank you so much for your time. Feel free to leave a comment here if you have any followup questions on the material, and I'll do my best to answer.

Dang, sorry I missed it - great slide deck! (and great information as well!)

I especially like the slide on TempDB (with the temporary tatoos picture :) ).

Just a footnote, but Live Meeting links usually stay up for quite a while after the event has concluded.  You can go back and review the slides after the fact.

Great presentation Adam. The information was valuable and probably saved many DBAs jobs. The Lord of the rings slides at the beginning was pretty cool and I would like to use something like that in one of my presentation, with your permission of course :)

James, glad you liked it :-)

Kevin, thanks for the tip!

Nigel, thank you for the kind words. I can't give permission since I don't own those images and technically I'm probably violating copyright by using them myself. So go crazy, or not, depending on your tolerance for such things.
