Last month I got to head out to Orlando and spend a couple of days with Andy Warren and the guys at End to End Training.  They have relaunched JumpStartTV.com and I was out there to record some brief training videos on SQL Server SMO programming.  Check out the SMO channel here.  Also, Brian Knight and Grant Fritchey have both posted recent content on the same site, and I encourage you to check those out as well.  Please leave feedback - good, bad or indifferent - on those videos you watch, as viewer feedback is the best way we can improve the quality of content for future videos.

I've just received notice that I will be a presenter at the upcoming SQL Saturday event in Jacksonville, Florida. I'll be speaking about the SQL SMO object namespace and how this powerful set of classes can be used to administer SQL Server instances programmatically.

I'm looking forward to this opportunity. I've not had much experience delivering presentations to those outside my own places of employment, so this should be a learning experience for me. I'm also the last presentation of the day, so I'll get to attend many other sessions as well.

So if you can get to Jacksonville the first weekend in May, I encourage you to come out to SQL Saturday. Hope to see you there!
