Description:

Until a few years ago, the online SQL Server community consisted of Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists and forums. Conversations were mostly, “I have a problem” and “Here is the fix”. In this session, you will learn what new services are available, how to leverage them to build your professional network, get involved in the SQL community and, most importantly, do your job better. We will focus on the mainstay services of the forward thinking IT professional but will also give you a glimpse of the bleeding edge.

Be prepared for an interactive session that will involve the worldwide online SQL Server community in real time. We won’t just tell stories about how social networking helped us do our jobs better – we’ll show how it works in real time. We’ll show you how database professionals all over the world are staying in touch with the PASS Summit even as we’re presenting.
