Sean McCown will be teaching a new series called NCC-1701-DBA

This is what you can expect to learn from this series:

Let’s make you an enterprise DBA. In this series we’ll of course be focusing on SQL Server in the enterprise, but much more importantly we’ll be covering the DBA himself. How can a single DBA take control of a large shop and make even huge tasks seem simple and mundane? How can a single DBA manage requests from hundreds of users and still get to lunch on time? Running a large enterprise is much more about setting up the DBA properly than it is about SQL Server itself. If you’ve been a DBA for any length of time, it’s time to change your mindset and start thinking about things the right way. In this series we’re going to learn how to set up your entire environment so it works for you and does what you tell it. You’ll be 10x more responsive to requests and even have time to do some real DBA work. We’ll also talk about ways to take you from busy to productive. If you manage any number of servers this is a class you can’t afford to miss. There will be a host of technologies used because in an enterprise we have a host of them available to us. It will be strong on Powershell, but it’ll also be strong on T-SQL, SSRS, and whatever else we need to get the job done. It’s time to take your DBA skills to the next level and this is the beginning of your journey.

During Sean's series our schedule will change slightly to accomodate all this free training.  The series will run from January through June at the beginning of our user group meetings.  We will continue to always start at 6pm and here is the schedule.
