We (fellow MVP Patrick Wright, our regional RD Scott Golightly, and I) had the opportunity to head down to the local Microsoft offices to participate in some free SQL Server 2005 training. The day was split up into three sections. Pat started out the day, presenting on Migration, Management, and Infrastructure. Scott followed up with a talk on Business Intelligense, focusing on Reporting Services, Analysis Services, and Integration. I finished off the day with a discussion on the Development platform, targetting the SQLCLR, TSQL enhancements, etc.
The event was completely booked and it appears that most everyone who registered showed up and we had some walk-ins too so it was a full house. As far as I'm aware the even went very well and people left pleased with the day.
In the event that you missed it, we'll be putting it on again on March 29th. As soon as I have the event details, I'll post them here and on the Utah .NET User Group site.
Thanks everyone for showing up and participating. I had a great time doing it and look forward to the next opportunity.
