Last Class Before Christmas! SQL Server 2005 Transact-SQL Programming

November 12, 2009 Comments Off

Training is just one of the many things we do here at Black Ninja. We really do enjoy taking the time out to prepare for and deliver a successful training course. Because of the feedback and interest level, we’re offering one more class before the Christmas break: SQL Server 2005 Transact-SQL Programming.

Who Is This Class For?

This is a fairly introductory course, so anyone who has some relational database background who wants to learn to script and create programmable objects in sql server using transact-sql would be an ideal candidate. Familiarity with programming/scripting languages is good, but not necessary.

Who Will Be Teaching It?

Our SQL Ninja @sqlbelle who has just come back from an awesome week at PASS Summit 2009 and is even more pumped up about SQL Server (if that is even possible) will be running this class.

Donabel runs a very successful blog centered around SQL Server, is a Microsoft Certified Training and has a ton of additional certifications in her tool belt. She loves to teach and is currently running SQL Server Admin and SQL Server Development courses at BCIT.

What Should I Bring?

Nothing! Just yourself, we’ll provide computer access and writing pads.

How Much Does It Cost?

The full 3 day course is offered at $1400 CDN. The class runs from 9:30am to 5pm.

Your Registration Includes

  • We’ll be sending each student home with a Black Ninja TSHIRT and their own personal, take home copy of THE definite source for SQL Server Transact-SQL Programming
  • Plenty of fresh coffee and snacks during the week
  • A comfortable training environment and really friendly staff. We keep the training sizes small for a reason; we want you to get the most out of training!

If you’d like to know more, please contact us and we’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.
