SQLBits VI Registration is open

Registration for SQL Bits VI on 16th April is now open – places are limited to sign up quick. 

There’s a cracking agenda based on performance tuning and scalability (but still plenty for everyone – not just hard core DBAs).

See you there!

New e-Learning MS Business Intelligence Course

I’m sure a number of you know of UK SQL Server MVP Chris Testa-O’Neill from his many presentations at user groups and conferences.  Chris has just authored a new e-learning course for Microsoft which covers the BI stack.  From Chris:

"I am pleased to announce the release of the Author Model eCourseCollection 6233 AE: Implementing and Maintaining Business Intelligence in Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008: Integration Services, Reporting Services and Analysis Services

This 24-hour collection provides you with the skills and knowledge required for implementing and maintaining business intelligence solutions on SQL Server 2008. You will learn about the SQL Server technologies, such as Integration Services, Analysis Services, and Reporting Services

This collection also helps to prepare for Exam 70-448 and can be accessed from: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/elearning/course/6233.mspx

Well worth a look I reckon!
