Next week, I have the honor of presenting two different sessions on SSIS.  These 2 events are the last speaking engagements on my calendar for this year:

On Monday, December 14 at 11:30 CST, I’m presenting a SQL Lunch session to discuss looping logic in SSIS using the For Loop and the For Each Loop.  This will be a working session, consisting almost exclusively of demos.  Thanks to Patrick LeBlanc for yet another opportunity to present to this group.

The following day, Tuesday, December 15th at 11:00 CST, I’ll present “Looping, Moving Files, and Splitting Data Streams: Intermediate SSIS Tasks for the DBA” for the PASS DW/BI virtual chapter.

See you there!

For those interested in the SQL Server BI space, there is a new online resource launching today.  Brian Knight and my friends over at Pragmatic Works have released the Business Intelligence Developer Network, a virtual community of business intelligence professionals.  You’ll find discussion forums, blogs, articles, a file/script sharing repository, and a community event calendar.  All resources are free, though you’ll need to create an account (also free) to access some of the content.

Want to become an author? BIDN welcomes submissions from the community, and even offers a little compensation for articles published on the site.  This is an excellent way to help others, build a new community, and strengthen your own street cred.
