SQLRally Nordic 2012 – session material

Hugo Kornelis — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 16:49:00 GMT

As some of you might know, I have been to SQLRally Nordic 2012 in Copenhagen earlier this week. I was able to attend many interesting sessions, I had a great time catching up with old friends and meeting new people, and I was allowed to present a session myself.

I understand that the PowerPoint slides and demo code I used in my session will be made available through the SQLRally website – but I don’t know how long it will take the probably very busy volunteers to do so. And I promised my attendees to make them available through my blog as well.

So, here they are, for everyone to download, see, and play with. Though, in all honesty, I expect people who were not present at my session to get very little out of this material.

(I’m not sure, but I *think* that the SQLRally organization will also make a recording of my session available. If that is true, then once it’s up the slides and demo code should make a lot more sense to anyone who is able to view the recording).

I know I’ve said it before, but I can’t repeat this often enough – thanks to everyone involved with the organization of SQLRally for creating a truly wonderful event, and thanks to all the attendees who took the time and energy to come to my session and listen to me.

I still lack the time to blog about proper hardcore SQL stuff, but I do want to make a quick post to let you all know about a great conference that I’ll be attending and speaking at.

I’m talking about the Irish Microsoft Technology Conference, to be held in Dublin, Ireland later this week (June 7^th, to be precise). I am particularly excited about this conference, not only because it marks my first speaking engagement outside the Netherlands, but also because (unlike some other conferences I have attended) there is actually a pretty decent number of SQL Server related sessions.

Simon Sabin (SQL Server MVP) will deliver a talk on using Service Broker to process work asynchronously,
Alan Crowley has a presentation on Visual Studio for Database Professionals (The Artist Formerly Known As Datadude)
And I even get the stage twice; my first session tries to help you understand how indexes can speed up (or slow down) query execution, and my other sessions explores the possibilities and impossibilities of CLR User-Defined Types.

The conference will be held in three rooms, so there are plenty of other sessions to choose from. But even if you are only interested in SQL Server, this conference is pretty good value for money – for only € 50, you have the chance to attend no less than four SQL Server oriented sessions (in the preliminary version of the agenda I received, none of them overlap). Plus, you get to experience the great weather of the British Isles! J

If you want to attend, book now – I have no idea how long you have left until they’re sold out!
