SQL Server with Mr. Denny » Tech Ed North America http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/sql-server Fri, 17 May 2013 17:04:01 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Time to Register for TechEd pre-cons http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/sql-server/time-to-register-for-teched-pre-cons/ http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/sql-server/time-to-register-for-teched-pre-cons/#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 21:16:25 +0000 Denny Cherry http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/sql-server/time-to-register-for-teched-pre-cons/ So Microsoft TechEd is quickly approaching. If you wanted to sign up for a pre-con there is still time, and plenty of space left available at both the North America and Europe TechEd pre-cons. These pre-cons are full day long sessions, being presented in this case by Tom LaRock and myself.

In this session, learn about SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012 performance tuning and optimization. Industry Experts Thomas LaRock and Denny Cherry guide you through tools and best practices for tuning queries and improving performance within Microsoft SQL Server. This session details real-life performance problems which have been gathered and tuned using industry standard best practices and real-world skills.

You can sign up for North America here, or Europe here.

I’ll see you in Orlando or Amsterdam,
Denny

If you haven’t signed up for Tech Ed yet it appears that there are even some early bird discounts which are available for people that sign up before the end of February for Tech Ed North America and before the end of March for Tech Ed Europe.  This makes it an even better deal because who doesn’t like saving money.

Hopefully you’ll join us in Orlando for Tech Ed North America or in Amsterdam for Tech Ed Europe for a great day of SQL Server training.

Denny

P.S. Don’t forget about my 4 day SQL Server 2012 class in Los Angeles in March and SQL Excursions in Napa, CA in May.

This is a 300 level session so it will be full of all sorts of “Denali” goodness.  Exactly what I’m keeping a secret for now, you’ll just have to come to the session to find out.  That or hang out with me at Dev Connections, Rally, etc. and I’m sure I’ll let it slip. :)

This will be my first time speaking at Tech Ed, so needless to say I’m very thrilled to be given this opportunity.  This just goes to show, that if you are loud, obnoxious, rude, etc. you can still get the KICK ASS speaking gigs.  My session is currently listed as TBD still, but you can find my session in the Tech Ed Catalog.  As of when I’m writing this (Thursday night) it has me listed as “Denham Cherry”, but hopefully they’ll get that fixed to Denny like it should be.

See you in Atlanta in May.

Denny
