I’m very excited to announce that I’ve been selected to present a session entitled Designing a Data Warehouse from the Ground Up on October 10, 2015 in Orlando, Florida at Seminole State College of Florida! I’ll be presenting this session for the first time along side Mitchell Pearson (b|t). This is going to be an amazing event with tons of amazing, FREE training for everyone including SQL server newbies on up to those who have been in the profession for years.My session, Designing a Data Warehouse from the Ground Up, is designed to be an introductory level session that will teach you the basics of designing the perfect dimensional model. Designing a data warehouse is much different than designing a transactional system as the purpose of the two types of databases is much different. You’ll learn to approach any business process in you organization with a methodical and step by step approach in order to design a great data warehouse. As we walk through the steps of designing a data warehouse, we will discuss how our design decisions can affect any potential SSAS solutions we may develop in the future.

I’m very excited about presenting this material and I hope that you’ll register for SQL Saturday 442 in Orlando, FL and come visit with me! This will be a great opportunity to receive free training from some of the sharpest experts in the industry on everything from database administration, SSIS development, Power BI, SQL Server 2016, Big Data, Azure, and more.
