Spend a Week With Kalen Delaney in the Boston Area

If you're reading this blog, you're undoubtedly already familiar with Kalen Delaney. She's been writing the premier internals book series for Microsoft since SQL Server 7.0, teaching SQL Server for many years before that, and is known as one of the most knowledgeable people in the world when it comes to how SQL Server works and the art of applying that knowledge to your day-to-day work.

Given Kalen's extreme depth and reputation as a fantastic teacher, it should come as no surprise that last time we brought her to the Boston area the class sold out and we were forced to go to a wait list. Those who did get a seat praised the class as the best they've ever taken. So we've decided to bring her back to the area again for everyone who wasn't able to attend last time.

If you're serious about getting to the next level with SQL Server, this is the class for you. You'll learn internals and query optimization from one of the best in the business. The course will take place in the Boston area, April 11-16.

If you book before February 1 you can take advantage of our early bird $400 discount. This is an incredible bargain for a fantastic learning experience.

Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope to see you in Boston!

In case you missed Kalen's post, we're excited to announce that she will be joining us here on the East Coast in October to deliver her SQL Server 2005/2008 Internals and Query Tuning seminar. This is, to my knowledge, the most advanced public SQL Server course to be offered in the Boston area in the last 5 years, and this is the first time that Kalen has ever taught in the area. I hope that some of you will be able to take advantage of this rare opportunity to really take your SQL Server skills to the next level.

The course location is the Microsoft Technology Center in Waltham, MA, and the course will run from Monday October 12 through Friday October 16. You can get more information about the course from the Web site, but following is an overview:

This is an advanced 5-day course designed for advanced SQL Server professionals. The course includes extensive demonstrations that illustrate the details of SQL Server internals as well as tuning techniques. This course will be presented on SQL Server 2008 and cover features specific to that version, but most of the information is relevant to SQL Server 2005 as well.

This 5-day intensive seminar was developed by one of the world's leading experts in SQL Server internals. Topics to be covered include the following:

SQL Server Architecture and Metadata
