6:30pm    Microsoft Server
Category : SIG     Fee : US$ 0
The SIG will begin studying Server 2008 on September 5th, using the Microsoft Self-Paced Training books. Over the next year, the SIG will review the three books preparing for the exams leading to the Server 2008 Administrator certification. These provide a good survey of Server 2008, even though many SIG members are interested only in learning about Server 2008 rather than taking the exams.

The SIG will have four Server 2008 installations for hands-on training.

9:00am    Database & GUI Design

We also cover aspects of SQL Server, user-defined functions, stored procedures, views and table design that developers deal with. Because of the difficulty of learning from lecture style workshops, we have changed the format to a more hands-on approach. We ask that you bring your notebook in with you to work through the examples with us. We feel that getting the examples on your own machine and typing them in yourself wi ...
