A busy month – a new book, a new car, a new phone

I don’t know why Septembers are always busy. This one feels like it’s been interesting, and I’m not sure life will be the same again. But first, some of the biggest news – the book that I wrote a couple of chapters for is now available for purchase! A challenge was put out a while...

More SQL Conferences coming up, including SQL Bits and SQL Down Under

I know I won’t be there, as I’m a million miles away in Australia, but being from the UK myself, I always have an interest in the UK SQL community and in particular, events like SQL Bits. This is the fifth SQL Bits conference , and they keep getting larger and larger. I’ve heard it’s now the largest...

Presenting at ADNUG this week

I haven't been to ADNUG for a while. I love that the group is there, but over the past year or more, I haven't prioritised getting to the meetings. I've been to meetings of equivalent groups in Melbourne and Sydney, but not to the Adelaide .Net Group for a while. But this week I will! I've...

SQL Code Camp concludes, plus poor Catherine Eibner

The SQL Down Under Code Camp finished this afternoon after a successful couple of days, but was marred by the news that Catherine Eibner , whose company sponsored the Influencers Party at TechEd AU this year, had shattered her wrist and was in hospital having surgery. Catherine is becoming a big supporter...

SQL Down Under talks, and England wins

This weekend is getting better and better. With England winning in both the football and the rugby , my mood is pretty good anyway - despite having to give the first presentation of Sunday morning at the SQL Down Under Code Camp . The local TV channel sent cameras just after I finished, so I think I...

Two days of intensive SQL Server training , thanks to experts from around Australia and Kevin Kline from the US. All the Australian SQL Server MVPs are coming (five here so far, two more coming soon). The coffee is great (thanks Peter ), the company is great, and there are so many more people here (than...

Free SQL training at events in the UK and Australia

...and I'm not even referring to the User Groups which run regularly. The ones I'm referring to are SQLBits and the SQL Down Under Code Camp . SQLBits was in the UK last weekend, and was a massive success. I would've loved to have been able to attend, but it's a bit far to travel (I guess...

Code Camps galore

We all know that Adelaide hosted Code Camp SA recently - it was a great success, and some people even wished I was there ! TechEd is coming up of course, but now there are two code camps scheduled for October, on the same weekend (13-14) and at the same venue! Yes, that place is Wagga Wagga - one Wagga...

Code Camp hits Adelaide

July 7-8 is the date for Code Camp SA. If you're superstitious and seven is your lucky number, then it might be worth pointing out that the date is 7/7/7. It's being organised by ADNUG, UniSA and the ACS, and you can find a full list of speakers here . I won't be there, but the Australian...

Some new CodeCamp MVPs

It's great when a new quarter starts, because we get to find out who the new MVPs are. This time, my good friend Peter Ward has received the gong in the SQL world, and in the Dev world, friends Grant Holliday and Paul Stovell (both from Readify) have been honoured. Great news guys - thoroughly deserved...

Office 2007 RTM today, great time for a talk about it and SQL!

Office 2007 has RTM'd today, and this includes Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. This is great timing, with Grant Paisley coming to Adelaide to give his talk about integrating BI and MOSS. This is a great talk, and if you're going to be in Adelaide, you should be there! Go to sqlserver...

On learning (Calvin and Hobbes, the ACS and digital natives)

Digital natives learn differently. How do we take advantage of that? The funny thing is that right away, I've written this from an external perspective, when I'm probably in a mixture of both camps. Feel free to consider me in either camp as you read this. At TechEd Australia this year, the keynote...

Slides and scripts on the OVER clause presentation

I'll write more about this when I get the chance. But in the meantime, if you want the slides and scripts from my presentations in Wagga and at AdSSUG last week, then get them from http://msmvps.com/files/folders/robfarley/entry180018.aspx . It was on Ranking Functions and Windowing, or on the uses...

SQL Code Camp Talks

All the talks this weekend have been great. Almost every talk has a bunch of things that I really hadn't appreciated before. All 5 SQL MVPs from Australia are here, plus Itzik (from Israel) and a few non-SQL MVPs from Australia. I would've liked there to have been a few more people here from...

SQL Code Camp

Well, here I am at Wagga Wagga . It's Sunday morning, and Itzik Ben-Gan is speaking. He's just shown us slides of the SQLHike trip, which looks like a really cool idea. Being here in the middle of nowhere talking about SQL with people is really fun. My talk (on the OVER() clause) went okay yesterday...
