Introduction to Oslo

Thanks to everyone who came along to the session on Oslo last Thursday at the Auckland Connected Systems User Group – was great to be there for the first time

As indicated during the session, Ive uploaded the slide deck and the M file we used during the quick look at the M language for you to have a play with – remember to download and install the Oslo Jan SDK to make use of these.

The Oslo Dev Center is the place you want to go for all things Oslo or M related, and also check out what some of the bloggers out there are doing with M so far..

Architects Forum – Cloud Computing

A couple of weeks ago I gave some presentations at the most recent Microsoft Architects Forums in WLG, AKL and CHC. The talk was on the emerging offerings in the cloud computing space and from all accounts, this is a topic which is hot on peoples minds given the level of banter we ended up having at the end of the sessions

For those who came along and wanted to get a copy of the slides, I now have these available for down – grab them here.

And for those who didnt make it along.. Mark Carroll is going to be running some more forums in the New Year – so get in contact with him if you are interested in coming.

Or..

.. if you are a developer in the North Island you are probably already taking part in the Unplugged events touring round the country this week – if not, check it out!

SQL 2008 Training Followup

Last week I was in Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch running some day long sessions covering off what is new across SQL Server 2008 and drilling down into some of the new features.

The sessions were a lot of fun – a big thank you to everyone who attended. The feedback you have given so far has been awesome, and both Darryl and I are really pleased that it hit the spot and that there was a great community vibe in each location – hope you are all planning to attend the upcoming PASS Community event or a user group near you soon!

I have a few posts to put up following on from those events, but the first one is just making the slides available for you all to grab. I have split the sessions up into the 5 sessions we ran on the day and have zipped them for you.

Grab them here:

• Overview
• Migrating to SQL Server 2008
• Architecture
• High Availability Features
• Management Features
