BimlScript: Incremental Load Design Pattern

andyleonard — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 12:00:00 GMT

Are you using Biml yet? Why not?!

Business Intelligence Markup Language (Biml) speeds and simplifies SSIS development and improves code quality. There's a good reason that sounds like a win/win - it is a win/win! Best of all, BidsHelper supports Biml and it is free.

BimlScript.com contains a collection of sample, functional Biml snippets and code that demonstrate all kinds of cool functionality. And again, it is also free.

I wrote about Biml in SSIS Design Patterns and deliver a presentation titled Using Biml as a Design Patterns Engine. I like it. A lot. I have started publishing Biml code at BimlScript.com - beginning with an example from the book: Incremental Load Design Pattern. Check it out and let me know what you think... and happy Biml'ing!

SSIS Design Patterns, the Book

andyleonard — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 16:37:43 GMT

For the past two years, I have had the honor and privilege or authoring SSIS Design Patterns alongside Jessica Moss, Michelle Ufford, Tim Mitchell, and Matt Masson. Publication of the book – like many projects of this scope – has been delayed. The current publication date is 27 Aug 2012 and I have high confidence in this date.

I take responsibility for publication delays and apologize to those who pre-ordered the book. The reasons for the delays are not important. I have built a career as a software developer and architect based on the following maxim:

Deliver quality late, no one remembers.
Deliver junk on time, no one forgets.

The shared goal of everyone working on this project has been to deliver quality. Proofing the manuscripts, I believe we have achieved that goal.
