Apologies for the lack of updates to the blog recently. It’s been a very busy time, but hopefully things will settle down a bit now.
Exciting news today (for me at least)! It was my first day as a Pragmatic Works employee. I’ve joined their product group, and will be helping manage the development of their BI tools. As I’ve commented on this blog before, one of the things I ‘m really passionate about is enabling BI developers to create solutions faster and more easily, and I’m looking forward to the opportunities that Pragmatic Works presents to continue doing exactly that. I also get to work with a great group of developers and some really sharp BI people, so it promises to be a lot of fun.
My excitement is tempered somewhat by sadness at leaving another great group of developers at Varigence. I enjoyed working with everyone there, and wish them success in their future endeavors.
In other news, I have a number of presentations coming up. I’ll be at SQLBits in London on March the 29th, presenting a precon with Matt Masson on SSIS Performance Design Patterns (space is limited, register now!). I also have a session on SSIS Unit Testing at SQLBits.
On April 14th, I’ll be presenting at SQL Saturday #111 in Atlanta, which is always a great time. I’ll be presenting on Tuning SSAS Processing Performance.
Last, but definitely not least, I was thrilled to find out that I’ll be presenting the Tuning SSAS Processing Performance session at SQL Rally in Dallas on May 10-11 as well. Please vote for one of my other sessions in the community choice options, if you see one that appeals to you. I’m really looking forward to seeing some of my friends from Texas again.
