This is going to be a truly fantastic SQL Server learning experience and we're hoping a few more people will join in the fun.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is where you come in: we have a few vacant seats remaining and we need your help spreading the word. Simply tell your friends and colleagues about the course and e-mail me  (adam [at] bostonsqltraining [dot] com) the names of the people you believe will register, or have them e-mail me your name and contact information when they register. For every person who buys a full-price registration between now and March 28 as a result of your help, I'll send you a $300 Amazon gift card.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Note: To keep things fair, if I receive the same name from two people the gift card will go to the first person who sent the name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more information on the course and to register, visit the &lt;a href="http://bostonsqltraining.com/"&gt;Boston SQL Training Web site&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Paul Randal and Kimberly Tripp - Boston Area - March 29-April 2</title><link>http://sqlblog.com/blogs/adam_machanic/archive/2010/01/26/paul-randal-and-kimberly-tripp-boston-area-march-29-april-2.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jan 2010 20:09:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:21451</guid><dc:creator>Adam Machanic</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;If you've been looking for advanced training in the northeast, your wait is over. Paul and Kimberly will be gracing us with one of their famous "SQL Server Immersion" events &lt;a href="http://bostonsqltraining.com/location.aspx"&gt;the week of March 29.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This course will cover storage engine internals, indexing and performance strategies, and of course in-depth sections on database maintenance from the guy who wrote DBCC. You can't go wrong there. A complete outline is available &lt;a href="http://bostonsqltraining.com/course.aspx"&gt;on the course web site&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you've never visited the Boston area, the spring is a great time to do it--we usually have great weather right in between the winter freeze and the overly-humid summer. The course location is Cambridge, MA, right near MIT: a really cool area with lots to see and do, easy access to downtown Boston via public transportation, and the weather should be perfect for some brisk evening walks around the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_river"&gt;Charles river&lt;/a&gt; after days of having your head pumped with SQL knowledge. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you &lt;a href="http://bostonsqltraining.com/register.aspx"&gt;register &lt;/a&gt;soon you can take advantage of the "early bird" special, $600 off the $3100 course fee. Use registration code "EARLYBIRD" to take advantage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hope to see many of you there!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
