Joe did a great job talking about locking and blocking. He explained what they really are and how they affect our SQL processes. He also offered tips on how to alleviate deadlocks and blocking.

Joe delivered an engaging presentation which provided a solid understanding of how SQL Server uses locking/blocking and transaction isolation levels. The talk provided a concise explanation of the methodology involved as well as useful tips and techniques for addressing and mitigating the impact.

This presentation clarified a large amount of SQL Server's locking and blocking mechanisms and gave me the background I needed to solve my day to day problems. Joe made great use of both slides and code samples to illustrate the different isolation levels, their side effects, and the concepts of locking, blocking, and deadlocks. I feel like I have a solid understanding of these concepts that will serve me well going forward.
