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.

Speaking at CodeStock Saturday!

I'm honored to present two sessions at CodeStock Saturday 26 Jun 2010: Introduction to Incremental Loads with SSIS and Applied SSIS Design Patterns! I love speaking at developer events and I am sincerely grateful CodeStock is allowing me this opportunity.

Introduction to Incremental Loads with SSIS is a neat session. I talk about ways to get SSIS to do something it does very well: load data. The intended audience is those new to SSIS or folks who've never used it. I hope to share tips and tricks that will benefit all.

Applied SSIS Design Patterns is my first (and currently only) Level 500 SSIS talk. The intended audience is experienced SSIS developers. I talk about advanced topics and even undocumented features of SSIS. This is a 90-minute talk, but about 20 minutes are about Incremental Loads. Perfect! I'll breeze over that part since the previous talk will cover Incremental Loads in detail.

If you read this blog and will be attending CodeStock, introduce yourself!
