Exploring SQL Server 2005
I’m pleased to announce that my first video training CD package is available, Exploring SQL Server 2005 from AppDev (Application Developers Training Company).
Despite years of doing training and speaking at conferences, this was the first time that I’ve shot videos. It was quite a different experience to do a lively presentation while speaking only to a microphone or to a camera for the head shots. The days spend recording were pretty stressful, because although I was well prepared I had to scramble the first couple of evenings to adjust stuff as I learned more about how taping works. But overall it was a very fun experience and so far I’ve gotten good feedback both about the content and how I did in presenting it.
Big thanks to the crew at AppDev for tolerating my idiosyncrasies and shepherding me through the minutiae of producing great quality sound and video, and keeping me in Mountain Dew. And thanks to Ken Getz who kindly took the time to share with me sage advice from his years of producing great videos about how to do it right, even though dinner was waiting.
If you get the chance to see the videos, please let me know what you think: good, bad, or indifferent!
