  • A #DevOps Discussion on Thursday with Abel Wang

    I’m hosting a webinar later this week with  Abel Wang, one of the talented members of the League of Extraordinary Cloud DevOps Advocates at Microsoft. This Thursday, October 10, 2019, at 3pm UTC we’ll be discussing DevOps, and how this can both transform your organization as well as improve your career.

    Microsoft has had an amazing transformation in the last few years, and I was fascinated by a few items recently when I watched Damian Brady (another League member) talk about the changes inside the company. I’m really looking forward to hearing what Abel has to say with all of his work with customers looking to build better software.

  • The Future of Database Development at SQL Saturday #870–Memphis

    I’m off to Memphis today for SQL Saturday #870. I’m excited as I’ve never been to Memphis and hope to wander around and see something while I’m there. I know Tennessee has a great #sqlfamily, so I’m looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

    If you’re in the area, register and come out for a free day of learning tomorrow. The event is at the FedEx Institute of Technology, and there are a lot of great sessions on the schedule.

    I’ll be delivering The Future of Database Development with Containers at 2:45. This is a fun session and I’ll be referencing some research we’ve done at Redgate that might change how we help you develop with databases in the future.

    Come join me and shake my hand tomorrow in Memphis.

  • Pre-Con in Denver

    As prep for our pre-con at the PASS Summit, Kendra and I are presenting a pre-con at the Denver SQL Saturday#908, on Friday, October 11, 2019. We’ll be talking about How to Architect Successful Database Changes: Source Control and Release Patterns for Performance and Availability.

    This is a look at development patterns that we’ve found to help handle more complex changes, both with state and migration patterns.

    The pre-con is $150, which is a bargain compared to the cost at large conferences. If you want to discuss development patterns that keep your database up and usable, come join us.

    Register today and we’ll see you in a couple weeks.

  • SQL in the City Sydney in Two Weeks

    It’s two weeks to our next SQL in the City Summit, this time in Sydney. I’m excited to be going back, though it’s a quick trip for me. Likely I’ll be fueled on lots of coffee for the two days I’m in Australia, so if I’m speaking a bit fast, remind me that the rest of you aren’t on a whirlwind, halfway around the world trip.

    We had great reviews on our previous tour, and I was sad to miss Sydney, but we’re coming back on Sept 27. The schedule is slightly different, but we’re thrilled to have Damian Brady from Microsoft talking about their DevOps transformation.

    Anderson and myself will represent Redgate and deliver a few session on our tools, and we’ll have the amazing Hybrid DBA, Hamish Watson coming as well.
