  • The June 2018 SQL in the City is coming

    We’ve got the schedule up and you can register today. Once again I’m heading to the UK, along with Grant, to broadcast a series of sessions that we hope will help you learn a bit more about building better database software and protecting data.  Kathi’s recording her session as she’ll be in Hawaii that week (she declined to trade with me).

    The theme this time is Compliant Database DevOps. Lots of people are struggling and coming to terms with the GDPR changes. I’d argue, as would others, that really most of the world ought to have better data handling, so we’ll give you some thoughts and ideas here of how to do this. We’ll use some Redgate products, but we’re hoping you get the overall concepts and ideas as well.

    Join me on June 20 and get a one day conference from the comfort of your own office.

  • One Week to Music City Tech

    Next week is Music City Tech, a three day conference consisting of Coding, Agile, and Data tracks, takes place in Nashville on May 31-June 2. There are a lot of great sessions on the schedule, covering a lot of software development topics.

    I’ll be delivering two talks, one on DevOps and one on security/encryption on Saturday. I’m looking forward to the conference, with some great .NET and development talks on Thursday and Friday, with a nice spread of data talks on Saturday.

    If you’re near the area, you can get tickets for a very reasonable price for the conference. I hope to see you next week.

  • Music City Data

    I’ve never spoken in Tennessee. I’ve wanted to visit, but the I’ve only managed to drive through a part of the state or transfer in the airport. That changes at the end of this month.

    Music City Tech, a three day conference consisting of Coding, Agile, and Data tracks, takes place in Nashville on May 31-June 2. It’s at Vanderbilt University, and there are a lot of great sessions on the schedule.

    I’ll be delivering two talks, one on DevOps and one on security/encryption on Saturday. I’m looking forward to the conference, with some great .NET and development talks on Thursday and Friday, with a nice spread of data talks on Saturday.

    If you’re near the area, you can get tickets for a very reasonable price for the conference. I hope to see you there.

  • First Wave of Sessions for PASSSummit Now Available

    The first wave of sessions for the #PASSSummit have been released. You can see the list at: http://www.pass.org/summit/2018/Learn/ConferenceSessions.aspx

    I am honored to have a session on the list. This year, I’ll be doing a session called Minimizing the Impact of Data Breaches in Dev and Test Databases. This is a partner session, and I’ll talk about some of the issues with data security in your development area and show some ways that you can mitigate the problems.

    There are some other really interesting sessions on the schedule, such as Ola’s  Analyzing Performance Problems Using XEvents, DMVs & Query Store and Faster SSIS from Andy Leonard.  Check out the complete list and start to find those sessions that will help you in your job. Use that information to help build a case for you to come to the Summit.

    I expect we’ll see releases of more sessions across the next few weeks or months. Keep an eye out for new sessions so you can update your schedule.
