I just wanted to post a quick place holder. I'll update this post later in the day with some more details and a link to my Slide Deck & Demo's from last evenings presentation for OPASS, the SQL Server User Group from Orlando.
And most of all I just wanted to say a BIG Thank You to everyone who braved the weather and the traffic to make it out last night! OPASS is always an awesome group of people to present to, and it was a nice and intimate setting with a lot of good back and forth with the audience. It is always great to see friends and familar faces, and OPASS did not dissapoint!
Thanks Again!
