I’ve finally decided to take the plunge and start this up. I’ve been in hiding for the last year and three quarters or so, working on a SQL Server 2005 (was Yukon) course and a companion book. The book, entitled “A First Look at SQL Server 2005 for Developers” shipped<\/a> on Monday. I have a single advance copy. Amazon doesn’t think it’s shipped yet though, has the book’s old name (with Yukon in it) and is missing an author (oh well). <\/P>
\n

Dan Sullivan and Niels Berglund are my co-authors. The book has been a long time in coming. The SQL Server folks were nice enough to let us release it (the material is based on beta 2) even though Beta 2 isn’t out yet. Modulo SQL Express, which was released yesterday on MSDN. So I have a (very) few spare cycles.<\/P>
\n

I’m going to write about adventures in Ascend program phase 2, and any technical insights and info I pick up along the way. I may not be writing much right away though, I’m on my way to Tokyo for a teaching gig tomorrow morning.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
