What is it?

As SQL 2008 was being developed. The team at corp ran a number of workshops with the bigger S/W development companies (Independent S/W Vendors (ISV’s)). It was intended to help them optimise their product for the new platform & to expose them to the new features they may be able to use to gain a competitive advantage.

This material has a lot of very useful detail on the changes.

To help you decide if it is relevant to you, I’ve listed, below, the Sessions that we ran over several days.

Here’s about a metric ton of cool SQL Server 2008 Training materials, VPC’s, videos, presentations and such… All in all, videos, VPC’s, etc, I’d say about 15-20GB’ish of data and materials.

One beef I have is that the VPC’s are configured in such a way as to be a major pain to download (even with FDM). I don’t mind major gigs to download, but I do hate having to download one rar that’s broken into 62 download pieces (and again there’s no simple way that I can see to feed them all to FDM… but I could be having a brain cramp too ;)
