SQL in the City - My Session

I'm very excited to be speaking at SQL in the City this year. I'm going to try to run through as many SQL Server software development tips and tricks as possible. I've been thinking about the session and I think instead of doing 20 tricks, I'm going to try to fit in 50 tricks. That's a new trick every 60 - 90 seconds. Let's see if this works! I figure with our short attention spans, this should keep everyone engaged, learning, and laughing. Click on the banner on the right of the blog to sign up for SQL in the City. I can't wait!
