Save up to 35% for the PASS European Conference

March 6, 2010 in Events | No comments

As I have recently become a core-member of the Belgian SQLUG, you’re probably going to see a bit more spread-the-word posts about interesting events or other advantages, such as this one.

The Belgian SQL Server User Group offers a significant 35% discount for its members (even more than the early-bird discount) for any PASS European Conference 2010 registration.

Use discount code BEC15Y and enjoy your savings on the registration.

For more information check out the SQLUG website. PASS European Conference 2010 is Europe’s premier conference for SQL Server technical education and business networking. Meet top SQL Server experts from Europe and around the world. Learn about best practices, effective troubleshooting, how to prevent issues, save money, and build a better SQL Server environment for your company or clients.

A while ago I already blogged about the sessions that I’m planning to see (which reminds that I should have another look at the agenda and update my list there )

Have fun!

Valentino.

Free SQLUG Evening: Service Broker

January 20, 2010 in SQL Server | No comments

What?

Service Broker provides queuing and reliable messaging for SQL Server. Service Broker is used both for applications that use a single SQL Server instance and applications that distribute work across multiple instances.

Within a single SQL Server instance, Service Broker provides a robust asynchronous programming model. Database applications typically use asynchronous programming to shorten interactive response time and increase overall application throughput.

Service Broker also provides reliable messaging between SQL Server instances. Service Broker helps developers compose applications from independent, self-contained components called services. Applications that require the functionality exposed in these services use messages to interact with the services. Service Broker uses TCP/IP to exchange messages between instances. Service Broker includes features to help prevent unauthorized access from the network and to encrypt messages sent over the network.

(The above was quoted from the BOL.)

Who?

Dr. Nico Jacobs, PhD in Data Mining, trainer/consultant at U2U focusing on SQL Server/BI.

When?

February 11, 2010.

Where?

Avenade, Vilvoorde.
