The Highlights:
I was very impressed with the entire event. Paul Timmerman (T) did an excellent job planning and organizing the entire thing. Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped as well – too many to list out and I know I would feel bad when I remembered someone I forgot to mention.
I finally got to meet and talk to grrl_geek, SQLMD, WIDBA, DataOgre, and IngeniousSQL. That was the best part of the day for me. My one regret is that missed meeting SQLSoldier.
I was also very inspired by meeting Andy Yeager (LinkedIn) – the guy is looking to change careers and he wants to get into the SQL server game, so in his spare time he’s been studying, reading and attending events like this. In my spare time, I watch football.
My Session:
TSQL Tips and Tricks
Thanks for everyone who attended my session. It was fun and I was much more comfortable presenting than I have been in the past. I honestly had fun doing it. Next time I will project my voice more or use a microphone – that was the most commented on aspect of my talk in the evals.
