Hi Friends,

I have uploaded the pictures of SQL BI community session that I delivered in January 2010. I was delivering in Kathmandu for the first time and it is always a good experience interacting with the audience of another country. The participants engaged me well and I thoroughly enjoyed interacting with them. And yes, it was cold there

Hi Friends,

I recently delivered Advance SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services workshop across 7 cities in India. The outline/course & training delivery was so well appreciated that I almost ran full house in every city. In this process, I landed up training 100+ IT Pros/Devs in SQL Server BI. Pictures can be seen at www.peoplewareindia.com/events.htm. In India, this was first time that such a comprehensive workshop on SSAS 2008 was being delivered pan India, that too with such a fabulous feedback. You can read all the feedback/testimonials at http://www.peoplewareindia.com/feedback/viewfeedbacks.aspx.

Now, I have another group of IT PROs requesting the same course again in Delhi NCR, and I am running another batch from 4-7 Feb in Gurgaon.

Please visit http://www.peoplewareindia.com/emailers/SSAScourse_onceagain.htm to get complete details on schedule, course outline & the venue.

I will deliver the training myself and you can know more about me by visiting www.peoplewareindia.com & www.amitbansal.net. You can also download my profile from these links.

Get yourself nominated from your company (or) attend this in your capacity. This is the most comprehensive course on SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services and the sessions are truly ‘deep-dive’. If you want me to send the details to your Training manager/Project Manager/Training & Learning Department or any other manager, connect me with that person over email at amit.bansal@peoplewareindia.com

Please also forward this email to your friends & colleagues to make them aware of the event.

You can reach me at +91 9007009017 to know more. (PS: I will be out of India from 29 Jan to 1^st Feb and this number will not be reachable)

Apologies, if this message has disturbed you, I just wanted to make you aware of the event.

Hi Friends,

I am planning to deliver a few webcasts on SQL Server. I know many of you are looking forward to webcasts on SQL Server 2008 R2. But apart from standard stuff like "What’s New" or "Feature-based" sessions, I want to focus on real-life issues that you all face on a day to day basis. Thus I need suggestions from all of you. Think about what type of sessions could help you in improving your productivity, or solve a real problem (performance or otherwise) or help implement a solution. It could be administration, development or BI or DW. Your suggestion could be across SQL Server 2005, 2008 or R2, or it may not be version specific at all. So, I am really looking forward to your valuable inputs. Send me your suggestions at amit.bansal@peoplewareindia.com. Please put the subject as ‘SQL Server session ideas’. Do not forget to put your name, company name & contact details in your signature. Please **do not** post your suggestions in the forum here because I may not come and check this thread as I have posted the same message in many UGs across India. I am really looking forward to something innovative, something different from the standard league. If your session is selected, you shall get the credit when I deliver the session.

Looking forward to hear from you. Send you suggestions at amit.bansal@peoplewareindia.com

Hi Friends,

Last month, I delivered a community session for Hyderabad Techies on SQL Server BI. Harish from Microsoft & Hima (MVP) also presented. The sessions rocked and the audience enjoyed to the fullest. I love delivering sessions for the community and every sessions is a new learning experience.

There are many pictures that you can see at www.peoplewareindia.com/events.htm and the presentations can be downloaded from www.WeTogether.in.

Hi Friends,

Are we welcoming the year 2010 or is the year 2010 welcoming us? Either way, we look forward to a more prosperous future ahead of us. Work hard to leave the economic blues behind, think of ways to reduce global warming, be at the mercy of the government to fight terrorism better, contribute towards reducing poverty and pray that we get to watch better movies

Yes, more than 90% of Bollywood movies flop in contrary to more than 90% of Hollywood movies that succeed – our film makers still need to learn a lot despite we were treated very nicely in Dec 09 with 3 Idiots, Paa and the likes.

Something that I observe every year end and I fathom: The sale of alcohol must be highest on 31st Dec & maximum puking on 1st Jan (immediately after 12 midnight). – I hope this year human beings drink less & puke less.

Wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year ahead !!! And loads of SQL Server learning.
