Ground Zero SSIS course starting in January

Ground Zero SSIS for People who Want to Learn SSIS and Want to Learn to do Other Stuff Good too

Presented by Sean McCown, SQL Server MVP

I'm going to take the students from ground zero to a good working knowledge of SSIS. However, this isn't going to be the regular SSIS tutorial type of class. Here I fully intend to teach good practices along the way and actually show you how to build real-world packages and give you good advice that will carry you through all of your future projects. The problem I have with so many classes like this is that they don't teach you when you should do certain things... only how. So I'm going to show you the real way things should be done and give you some templates to designing your own loads.

This course will take place from 6:00 to 7:00pm on meeting nights (3rd Thursday) from January through June. To sign up: http://midnightdba.itbookworm.com/ssisfromscratchsignup.aspx
