SQL Server with Mr. Denny » Class http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/sql-server Fri, 24 May 2013 17:04:09 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Still time to sign up for my SQL 2012 Class http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/sql-server/still-time-to-sign-up-for-my-sql-2012-class/ http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/sql-server/still-time-to-sign-up-for-my-sql-2012-class/#comments Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:56:56 +0000 Denny Cherry http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/sql-server/still-time-to-sign-up-for-my-sql-2012-class/ My SQL 2012 class is just a few short weeks away, but there are still seats available for the class. Take the time and get signed up now for this great four day class where we will be diving into SQL Server 2012 with loads of hands on labs to really get you ready to deploy SQL Server 2012 as soon as it is released.

As this class is all about the hands on part of the class, we won’t just be going through four days of lecture but we will instead be doing a great combination of lecture and lab so that you know not just the theory from slides but will have actual hands on experience of using the product to work through real life like scenarios.

Hopefully you’ll get signed up today and I’ll see you at the class next month.
