IEDev: Immersion Event for Developers

Bellevue, WA, US: August 13-17, 2012

Overview

This 5-day class is designed to cover all the information developers should know when coding in SQL Server. It could be used (as has been) as a class geared toward obtaining the SQL Server Developer Certification, although it goes beyond the knowledge required for that certification. The class focuses on, but is not limited to, SQL Server 2008.
