It&#8217;s 100% free of any 3rd-party adverts and marketing and your email address will only ever be used for sending the newsletters &#8211; nothing else. And it&#8217;s 100% free to join, no special requirements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Every newsletter has the following sections:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>SQLskills News<\/strong> A quick round-up of new Pluralsight courses, classes, conferences, user groups, and SQLSaturdays where we&#8217;ll be presenting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Book Review\u00a0<\/strong>I read a huge amount and like to post a 1-2 paragraph review of something interesting I&#8217;ve read since the last newsletter. I&#8217;ve been told by many people that this is one of the sections they look forward to most!<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Curious Case of&#8230;\u00a0<\/strong>Describing and explaining a problem we&#8217;ve recently found on a client system (or come across in an email question or while teaching a class) that is something others are likely to come across in their environments.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paul&#8217;s Ponderings\u00a0<\/strong>Where I write about\u00a0a topic of interest to the SQL Server community.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Video Demo\u00a0<\/strong>A never-before-seen demo video of something to do with SQL Server from one of the team. Occassionally I&#8217;ll pick a demo video from a Pluralsight course too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>#TBT\u00a0<\/strong>(Turn Back Time) Highlighting some older resources around a particular topic, plus a selection of recent SQLskills blog posts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here\u2019s an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sqlskills.com\/External\/ExampleNewsletter03132017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">example newsletter from March 2017<\/a> so you can see what it\u2019s like.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested,\u00a0just enter your email address below and hit Subscribe and you&#8217;ll be added to our newsletter list.
