Over the years, I've taught six different SQL Server training courses. The first two were designed to teach only SQL Server 2000. The next four were designed to teach SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2000 combined. I loved teaching these courses as they were real-world courses; however, I've never been as excited about a SQL Server course as I am the about the one I'm currently preparing for ASPE. This SQL Server course will focus on the topics that students have begged for over my seven years of teaching SQL Server.

In all of the other SQL Server training courses I've delivered, some tie has existed to a Microsoft certification. Not with this one. We've decided to give the attendees the topics they've asked for over the years. These topics include:

• Installing SQL Server right the first time
• Designing and implementing well-performing databases
• Optimizing the performance of existing databases
• Improving security
• Understanding advanced features such as SSIS, SSRS and SSAS

Any many more topics as well. The training will be focused on SQL Server 2005 and 2008 with just a few referenced so SQL Server 2000. If you'd like to know when the training class is coming to your area, just contact me through the SysEdCo.com contact page.
