Special: What *IS* the Virtual Conference?


Special: What *IS* the Virtual Conference?
(By Popular Request)
Several people wrote in to ask about the virtual conference to find out more about it. Specifically, people were asking what a "session" was like and how it was different from a webinar or other sessions they may have seen out and about.

I figured the easiest way to explain was to show you, so today’s SelectViews show is a highly-rated session from Kevin Kline from the recent virtual conference. The session is about SQL Injection – specifically some things you can do to avoid it. Check it out – you’ll see some great information, might learn a tip or two and will see a session example. When you’re done, you can register for the vConference and save at the current maximum early-bird rates – which expire in just a day or two. Check out the conference site here to get registered.

The Virtual Conference (all 75 sessions and 20 speakers!) is coming April 7, 8 and 9. While that’s a ways a way at the moment, NOW is the time to register – you can save BIG.

Content Direction for SSWUG
Many thanks for all of the great feedback thus far on what you’d like to see on the site. I received a great assortment of suggestions, mostly centered on tips for those of us not doing database work full-time, but faced with managing the servers nonetheless – the "accidental DBA" type items. We’ll keep pushing on those and the more advanced topics as well.

This is the last call for suggestions – if you have an area, or a type of article you’d like to see us covering, this is your chance to speak up and let me know.

Please drop me a note, let me know what types of things you like to read about. You can even cheat and just send me a number – between 100 and 600 – for the level of content you’d like to see. 100 would be "welcome to SQL Server" and 600 would be "so much detail and so advanced that my eyes will bleed."
