Luke Hayler - SQL Server developer

Today I made a commitment, a commitment to the community. And it starts with SQLServerPedia Syndication. That commitment means that I’ll be writing more, interacting more, sharing more, and if at all possible, entertaining more. (OK, so I’m not sure about the last one, but I sure am gonna try).
I have to say, it’s [...]

Another entire day of presentations from leading speakers and experts and all about SQL Server? Sign me up. PASS has put together another  amazing online event, featuring 24 back-to-back webcasts covering SQL Server and Business Intelligence, starting at 12:00 (GMT) on the 19th May 2010.
Registration is entirely free, so go take a look at [...]

It’s almost time for another SQLBits, and in my [humble] opinion, it’s not soon enough. These free conferences are fantastic and if you do have the opportunity to attend I suggest you do so. Whilst I have only a small idea as to what goes into organising a conference, I am pretty sure that it [...]

That’s right folks. Another SQLBits is almost upon us. And this time it’s in London! This SQLbits is to be held at the Church House Conference Center on the 16th April 2010.

Here’s [...]

Better late than never
I’ve been a little under the weather since getting back from SQLBits V so this post has been days in the making instead of just s a few hours. But here it is. This post focuses on the conference sessions, I am going to follow up with another post on people, conference [...]

The SQLBits agenda is up! And not a moment too soon. I understand that the organisers had a few issues when initially trying to get the schedule on the site, but all is resolved. These guys do great work to provide an amazing service to the community, and all at their own expense. So every [...]

SQLBits is almost upon us. In less than 10 days, around 400 people will be descending on the Celtic Manor in Newport, Wales for the 5th instalment of what I am led to believe is a first rate conference. Great speakers, great sessions, awesome venue, _____________ attendees. That space is intentional. I plan to fill [...]
