Sharing Slides on SlideShare.net

Hey everyone. Just a short post to let you know I am now sharing some of my slide decks from conferences at SlideShare. Here is the URL:

• http://www.slideshare.net/tkejser1

Some things I put there so far:

• The Fusion Fireside talk I did at SQL Bits (which shows SQL based message queues in action)
• My Big Data vs. DW deck (as seen at SQL PASS 2012 and other conferences)
• A deck I created to introduce storage people to databases

Feel free to use the material, I only ask that you let people know where you got it from.

My old slide decks belongs to MS as their IP, so I can’t share those slides with you. However, you will often find some of that material is available for download at the conference site where I presented it. For example, you can find a lot of my presentations on the SQL Bits website here:

Next week, I will be presenting at IP Expo about the Fusion-io SDK initiative. Exciting times.

Happy New Year Update – and OOF

Happy new year everyone. First of all, thanks for staying in touch and reading my site. According to Google Analytics, I have over 27K unique page hits and there is a steady traffic of over 50 hits/day of “not search engine crawler and not spam” traffic. Considering that I have done very little to expand my reach (with the exception of picking the inevitable fight with Dan Lindstedt in the Kimball forums) I think that is pretty nice. Peak traffic is now 500 page views in a single day for the most popular post (“Boosting INSERT speed Generating Scalable Keys” in case you were wondering)

Reading Material

Today, I was asked a good question: “What material do you read to stay up to date on SQL Server, computers and data modeling” (thanks Chris). Let me try to answer this:
