My Final SQL Server Presentations (until further Notice)

imageAs my regular readers have noticed, activity on my blog has slowed down lately. My new job at Livedrive is keeping me very busy and excited. It’s the opportunity I have been looking for: right in the middle of the Open Source vs. Microsoft cloud battle (and in a hectic development environment). I am greatly enjoying myself in this space.

However, I have precious little time to blog about SQL Server. And quite frankly, by now I feel there isn’t much more left for me to say on this subject. The time has come for me to move on to other subject areas and master new skills.

How will this affect my public speaking appearances?


Conferences

For those of you who have been regular attendees to my public speaking, I am happy to say I will be doing two (maybe three) final SQL Server conference appearances.

These will be:

  • SQL Rally Nordics (4th to 5th November) – It is fitting that I end on a Nordic note – in my home countries.  At this conference, I also have the pleasure of co-presenting with Adam Machanic during our Optimiser session and with Davide Mauri for the Data Warehousing Course.
  • SQL Rally Amsterdam (8th November) – Another area of the world where I have made many friends during my time with SQL Server. I will be repeating the session with Adam here.
  • SQL Bits (?) – Assuming the arrangers will let me, I will probably do one final guest appearance at SQL Bits as a presenter. It’s a conference that has supported me ever since it started and I feel honoured to have been a part of the SQLBits story.

Courses

I will continue to run my courses, both the performance tuning one and the data modeling course. These are subjects that are very dear to me and an area where I am still expanding my skills. The two courses planned are:

Just how regular those courses will be is unknown at this point. There are still seats available on the two above. SQL Rally Nordics is getting quite busy though – so hurry up if you want a spot.

Thank you

It’s a bit sad to end and era with SQL Server. But I am happy to have met so many talented people and made good friends along the way. I am grateful for all the opportunities that have been given to me and for the people who have put up with my crazy experiments along the way.

I am at journey’s end with SQL Server – its time to climb the next mountain.

 

PS: Livedrive are looking for rock star C#/C++ programmers, SQL Server and mySQL DBAs. We are growing at an incredible rate and you will have to work with some extremely challenging databases.  If I got your interest and you think you can handle it – send me an email.
