Ray K - Wednesday, February 22, 2017 10:05 AMSo 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!
I like start small & build. That's how you put together any presentation. And yeah, this is a needed one.

Kevin3NF - Tuesday, January 24, 2017 9:13 AMI just found this thread while looking for something else 🙂I also am interested in doing training of newbies....devs, managers, young people fresh out of school, etc. But I am more on the admin side, whereas you appear to be more on the Dev/T-SQL side.
I even have a kid in my neighborhood I am mentoring a few hours a week. He's almost done with HS...may go straight into the workforce if I do my job right in training him. Night classes for other basic IT concepts.
- What is a database?
- What are backups and why do we need them?
- Installing SQL 2016 Dev for students and learners
There will be more. Had never considered lumping these together as a pre-con, especially since I have never presented to non-coworkers before...
I put this together, along with other topics into a 5 day training series (in person only), spread out over 9 weeks. First class next Wednesday...sold out in 12 hours. At the price point of "Free", I'm not surprised 😀

aaaand I am about to submit all of these 5 presentations bundled into a full day as a SQL Saturday paid pre-con. There is a ton of demand for DBA Fundamentals.
Just sayin' 😉

There's a presentation idea I've had in mind for a little while -- and Steve's editorial reminded me of it.
The tentative title: "Normalization 101: Data normalization for absolute beginners"
I'm thinking about making a SQL Saturday-type presentation out of it.
What do people think? Anything I should or shouldn't include? And any suggested resources (I intend to look at the links that Steve mentions in his editorial) that I should reference?
