Very busy months for SQL Saturday in September and October

If you’ve never attended the free 1 day seminar called SQL Saturday than the next few months give you plenty of chances.  Some Saturdays there are events in 3 or 4 different cities at once.  Even if you are outside the US, there is probably a SQL Saturday each year within a few hours drive or flight. 

 

SQL Saturday is for beginners and seasoned professionals.  There are always multiple rooms with speakers presenting at the same time.  I suggest using Schedule Builder feature of the SQL Saturday website once you’ve registered for the event nearest you.

 

I’ve been attending and sharing my experiences at SQL Saturdays for years now.  Each event is top notch and very organized.  The list of speakers are the best SQL experts in the world.

 

I’m next speaking at SQL Saturday #149 in Minnesota September 29th.  I’ve had the privilege to speak in Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus, New York City, and Kansas City.  I’ve also attended Louisville a few times.

 

You should check out the SQL Saturday website for more information and the upcoming schedule.  If you don’t see your area, check out the list of previous events.  Maybe you’ve missed it and you’ll find out what month it will be back next year.

 

 

A Complete BI Solution in About an Hour!

 

In this presentation Aaron will cover how to collect data from multiple SQL Servers using SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS). Then he will use SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) to report detail on that data. After that he will use SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) to create a KPI. Finally he’ll present that KPI on a dashboard via a web page. The goal of this presentation is to show how seamless the Microsoft Business Intelligence products are. If you’ve only used a few of these products, you’ll appreciate seeing them together all at once. Code will be provided.

 

Session Level: Beginner

JavaScript should be your favorite language

So you think you're really cool because you're hardcore and know everything there is about PHP or C# or C++ or VB or Perl or Ruby or Python or ColdFusion or Java or ActionScript or..  I should stop right?  The thing is, as developers we've been coding in all these other languages to fit the phone, desktop, server and platform we think is best.  But we were wrong.  There is no "best" or "favorite" platform.  We shouldn't have been writing Flash apps.  We shouldn't have been writing Silverlight or Windows or Mono or XNA or Java apps.  We should have been writing HTML5 apps this whole time.  Don't get me wrong.  I don't thing that the debate of standards based apps vs native apps is over.  I think it's going to go nuclear.  Soon their will be iOS , Windows , Ubuntu , Chrome , Android , Blackberry , Firefox OS , and more to come.  They (I assume) will all probably be a little different but there will be ways to write in just HTM...

Why I won't be registering as a blogger in the state of Florida.

This blog post is about Ron DeSantis. Why am I writing about Ron DeSantis? Did he create a new JavaScript framework? No. Did I move to Florida? Nope. Did Mr. DeSantis contact me about my blog? No.  Does anyone at the Republican party in Florida know that I exist? Absolutely not. I'm writing about Ron DeSantis because he and his party in Florida are working to pass a law requiring me to register my blog with them. I'm disseminating this information to you in possible violation of a law written 1000 miles away. At the discretion of some official in Florida they may decide that I owe them money and fine me for not registering with that official. I also must tell them how much money I make off my blog post. It's just pennies by the way. https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/1316  This proposed law is as stupid as the book bans. Just like the banned books, nobody is being forced to read this blog. A person has to seek this blog out. You don't have to finish reading a bo...

Cool new stream about F# from LaylaCodesIt

Image
There was a cool new series about F# on Twitch today.  It was fun to see and I haven't used F# in a long time. I felt like it was my first time while watching the stream. https://www.twitch.tv/laylacodesit  Here is my code inspired by Layla and Alyssa. https://gist.github.com/trendoid/ad4c5f3b58fc09c6a0ee472a0fd869d6 or if you want the whole project... https://github.com/trendoid/FsharpConsoleApp It just reads from a text file and prints the contents out to the console. // For more information see https://aka.ms/fsharp-console-apps printfn "Console App: Started!" open System.IO let baseDirectory = __SOURCE_DIRECTORY__ let filePath = "Text.txt" let fullPath = Path.Combine(baseDirectory, filePath) let readFilesTask (path1) =   task {     let! content = File.ReadAllTextAsync(path1)     return content   } printfn "Content: %s" (readFilesTask(fullPath).Result)
