So I was thinking about this this morning, and I figure it's time to revisit. Unfortunately, I never got around to executing the grandiose plan I had of putting together a precon-type presentation for this, so I'm thinking about starting even simpler.
From what I can gather, one of the most common questions we see is, "how do I get started with SQL Server? Where do I begin?" I'm thinking about putting together a SQL Saturday-type presentation that addresses this question.
Yeah, I realize that there's a lot of stuff to pack into an hour, so I'm thinking about talking about little things, tips, and advice to whet people's appetites and get them started. I wrote a blog entry[/url] about this a while back, and am thinking about using that as a starting point.
I'm thinking about calling it something like, "Getting your feet wet: how to get started with SQL Server".
So what do you folks think? Does this sound like a plan? What should (or shouldn't) be included in such a presentation? Any feedback you might have would be appreciated!
