I’m currently prepping the content for a series of six 75-minute lectures on SQL Server and Reporting Services for Progressive Business Technology. Instead of having to leave the office, get on a plane and fly to a conference, these webinars give developers the opportunity to get quality content right from the office or from home. These lectures might be the key factor that makes you a better developer or candidate for that new job. Consider that a single paid attendee can include any number of co-workers on the same call, watching the same content over the Internet. You’ll also get a chance to ask questions in real time (as time permits). Unlike previous sessions, this workshop includes a copy of “Hitchhiker’s Guide to SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services” and “Hitchhiker’s Guide to Visual Studio and SQL Server (7th Edition)”
SUMMARY
This high-impact series of training webinars is for anyone who wants to leverage Visual Studio, SQL Server and Reporting Services best practices—learning what works, what doesn’t and why. These sessions are for developers, architects and managers who want to know how and (more importantly) when to leverage the power and benefits of SQL Server and Reporting Services. Benefits of this exclusive six-session webinar training series include:
· An interactive training experience using exercises distributed prior to the sessions
· Personalized attention from industry-expert William Vaughn
· Two best-selling books and the opportunity to ask questions throughout the sessions
· Easy-access to session recordings immediately after each webinar
