SQL Server 2008 Hands On Seminar
Learn SQL Server 2008 in a two day Hands-On Seminar presented by Joe Homnick and other Microsoft Certified Trainers in SQL Server from Homnick Systems. We will supply you with a Virtual PC image and workbook. You can optionally, BYOL (bring your own laptop) to walk along with the instructor and/or take the materials with you for further lab work after the class.
What is a "Hands-On Seminar? This is a seminar format, pioneered by Homnick Systems in 2004, where the Instructor mostly uses demos to teach the attendee concepts originally presented in slide format. The attendee can approach this learning solution as a pure seminar without a laptop and then work on the courseware demos on their own time. Optionally, the attendee can "walk along" with the instructor on their own systems running a supplied VPC image. This "walk along" can be of varied involvement and should still be supplemented with lab work on their own time. Both approaches work very well in learning the concepts and the seminar attendees are usually evenly split on the approach they select.
Optional hands-on laptop system requirements to walk along with the instructor during demos and labs:
A laptop with a minimum of 2 gig of memory, USB 2.0 port and 10 gig of free disk space.
Who Should Attend: Database Administrators, Developers and managers who are familiar with the SQL 2005 feature set and want to learn about the new features found in SQL 2008. .
