Iowa Code Camp – Call for Speakers

This is a little late, but I want to mention that the Iowa Code Camp has put out a call for speakers. I've spoken with Greg, and he told me they're still looking for 2 or 3 more SQL-related sessions. If you have a topic you'd like to speak on, please send him an e-mail!

I'll also be speaking at this year's Code Camp on May 2nd. Here's a brief overview of my planned topic:

SQL Server for the .NET Developer
Most .NET developers will inevitably work with SQL Server in some form or another. Many will even be asked to create tables and stored procedures to support their applications. This session will focus on what every .NET developer should understand about SQL Server. We'll cover the basics, such as good table design and efficient queries, and we'll touch on some indexing concepts, too. Then we'll wrap up with some strategies for developing high volume SQL Server applications.

Lately I've been trying to work on my speaking skills. So if you're within a 4-5 hour radius of east Iowa (Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, etc.) and would like me to come speak at your next SQL event, please send me an e-mail at michelle @ sqlfool dot com.
