This post will serve as the landing page for a series I am calling 60 Days of Extended Events. The purpose of these posts will be to help somebody progress through the Extended Events Concepts and become more proficient at implementing and using them.

The 60 days of XE will be a two month series running from September 1, 2015 through October 30, 2015. The posts will go live only on weekdays. So while it is 60 calendar days, it will end up being somewhere in the neighborhood of 45 articles. These are the  types of articles designed to take 5 to 15 minutes to learn a concept and move on with the work day. The articles are designed to build on previous concepts.

As the posts go live, I will return and update this page with the article title and link.
