Here in the UK we like to do things a little bit different and so this coming week we are going to dispel one of the biggest single myths of all time! The myth that “That there is no such thing as a free lunch”. Instead of enjoying the delights of BBC News this Tuesday lunchtime, get yourself down to the Golden Fleece (EC4N 1SP) for SQLLunch where Patrick LeBlank will be presenting – Introduction to SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn. Do something productive with your lunch hour and take advantage of some free SQL Server training right on your doorstep. It’s a great opportunity to get involved with the community, catch up with your favourite SQL Server folks and get a break away from the office. See you there!
Here’s your weekly roundup of SQL Server Blog Posts, News and Techie Stuff. Enjoy!
