October 22: SQL Server Mini-Code Camp
Just announced on Thom Robbins' blog, I'm doing a SQL Server Mini-Code Camp on October 22 at the Microsoft offices in Waltham, MA. This will be a full day of content.
The morning session will focus on data fundamentals and set-based
thinking. This will include a study of First Normal Form and some brief
discussion of higher normal forms, a very basic intro to referential
integrity, and an introduction to 3-valued logic and NULLs. I'll then
proceed into set-based vs. procedural thinking, and show how to write
better queries without using loops or cursors.
The afternoon session will be a deep dive into SQL Server 2005
CLR integration. I'll cover primarily how to program--and best
practices for using--CLR UDTs, UDFs, aggregates, and stored procedures.
I'll also briefly discuss triggers, but honestly I don't see much value
in that feature so I'm going to spend very little time discussing them.
I'm very excited to be doing this! Let me know (soon, please)
if you have any specific areas you'd like covered and I'll see if I can
work it into the content.
