Each seminar is $149 and includes a full lunch. Seating is limited, &lt;a href="http://www.sqlsaturday.com/seminarregistration.aspx?eventid=32"&gt;register&lt;/a&gt; today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Attendees of my seminar will get a free copy of my book, &lt;a href="http://kevinekline.com/bibliography/" target="_blank" title="Kevin's Books"&gt;Database Benchmarking: A Practical Approach for Oracle and SQL Server&lt;/a&gt;, plus other free goodies from my employer, &lt;a href="http://sqlserver.quest.com/" target="_blank" title="Great SQL Server Tools from Quest Software"&gt;Quest Software&lt;/a&gt;.
As an added note of explanation, Buck's excellent seminar centers
around detecting and troubleshooting performance problems, while my
seminar focuses on writing high-performance and highly scalable SQL and
Transact-SQL code.&amp;nbsp; Why not sign up for both of them to get
comprehensive education on the entire process of writing great code,
deploying it, and monitoring it for continued excellent performance?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally,
I'll be speaking at user groups in the area leading up to SQL
Saturday.&amp;nbsp; If you can join me at my seminar or at SQL Saturday, maybe
one of these other events better fits your schedule:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tuesday, Oct 13, &lt;b&gt;Tampa&lt;/b&gt; SQL Server User Group (http://www.tampasql.com)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wednesday, Oct 14, &lt;b&gt;Orlando&lt;/b&gt; SQL Server User Group (http://www.opass.org)&lt;br&gt;
