&lt;P&gt;With the recent publication of the schedule,&amp;nbsp;it's official: I am presenting at &lt;A href="http://www.sqlsaturday.com/schedule.aspx?eventid=32" target=_blank&gt;SQL Saturday #21&lt;/A&gt; in Orlando on 17 Oct 2009! My talk is&amp;nbsp;based on&amp;nbsp;my series of articles &lt;A href="http://www.sqlservercentral.com/search/?cx=000517265726492607871%3Agqdiynsp-y0&amp;amp;cof=FORID%3A9&amp;amp;q=%22An+Example+of+Test-Driven+Development%22#1127" target=_blank&gt;An Example of&amp;nbsp;Test-Driven Development&lt;/A&gt; at &lt;A href="http://www.sqlservercentral.com/" target=_blank&gt;SQLServerCentral.com&lt;/A&gt;.

&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Discount!&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As I mentioned in my post called &lt;A href="http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andy_leonard/archive/2009/08/25/a-day-of-ssis-training-15-oct-2009-at-sql-saturday-21-orlando.aspx" target=_blank&gt;A Day of SSIS Training 15 Oct 2009 at SQL Saturday #21 Orlando&lt;/A&gt;, I'll be doing a day-long seminar entitled From Zero To SSIS on 15 Oct 2009. The seminar is designed to flatten the slopes of the SSIS learning curve. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I learned recently you can receive a &lt;EM&gt;20% discount&lt;/EM&gt; off the already excellent price of this seminar - only $149 for a whole day of training! When you register, enter the code ALEONARD to receive the additional 20% discount. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I hope to see you there!&lt;/P&gt;
