• My list is still too long. ive done a couple SQLSaturdays and quite enjoyed them, and i always learn a lot of new things, but their other effect is always to remind me how much about SQL server I still DON'T know.

    As it pertains to my current job, top priority is learning all the SSAS/SSIS I can, especially best practices around team development in those areas.

    But on a personal level, I want to sharpen my query/programmability optimization skills. I know a lot (much of it from reading and participating here) about tricks on writing better queries and such, but still a newb when it comes to actually breaking down execution plans, and analyzing performance of queries.
