Master Data Services Training in the UK

This is just a quick post to announce a range of SQL Server training courses, organised (and in some cases delivered) by Chris Webb. To start off there’s a SQL Server course delivered by Christian Bolton in December, followed by an Analysis Services course delivered by Chris in February. I’ll be delivering a Master Data Services course in February, before Chris delivers an MDX course in March.

The details for all the courses are:

  • SQL Server Internals and Troubleshooting Workshop – Christian Bolton – 6th – 7th December 2011

The Advanced Troubleshooting Workshop for SQL Server 2005, 2008 and R2 provides attendees with SQL Server internals knowledge, practical troubleshooting skills and a proven methodical approach to problem solving. The workshop will enable attendees to tackle complex SQL Server problems with confidence.

  • Introduction to Master Data Services with Jeremy Kashel – February 2012

An end to end look inside Master Data Services, this full day course will begin with a synopsis of Master Data Management before moving on to an overview of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Master Data Services (MDS). The remainder of the course will cover the major MDS topics, such as modelling and business rules, which will include a number of practical exercises.

  • Introduction to MDX with Chris Webb – March 2012

The Introduction to MDX course aims to take you from the point of being a complete beginner with no previous knowledge of MDX up to the point where you can write 90% of the MDX calculations and queries you’ll ever need to write. The three day course covers the basics, such as sets, tuples, members to more advanced concepts such as scoped assignments and performance tuning.
