The Austin .NET User Group (ADNUG) is again holding it\u2019s annual Austin Code Camp 2012 event.  The date is Saturday, June 9th, 2012<\/strong> at the St. Edward\u2019s Professional Education Center (PEC)<\/a> (the same location as the last few years).  The event runs all day, and attendees can pick which sessions are most interesting to them.  Visit http:\/\/austincodecamp2012.com\/<\/a> for more information about the event. <\/p>\n

The event features speakers that focus on development-related topics with a focus on real demonstrations (rather than marketing information).  All sessions are free to attendees, and volunteers in the community are invited to speak.  Organizer John Teague<\/a> states it a little better:<\/p>\n

\n

All of the content in community driven, presented by members of the community.   I would encourage you to come and talk about whatever is interesting in the world of software development.  While the event is organized by the Austin .Net Users group, it is not limited to discussions about .Net.   It is an excellent opportunity to gain public speaking experience.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you\u2019re planning to attend, please be sure to register on the Austin Code Camp 2012 Eventbrite page<\/a>. That will help the planners determine how much space (and food!) they\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n

I have presented at the conference every year since 2008, and it has been a great experience!  The number of attendees is always impressive (I think 2011\u2019s event included more than 250 IT pros and developers).  I\u2019m planning to give two presentations this year:<\/p>\n

\n

Practical SQL Server Performance Monitoring & Optimization<\/h3>\n

Developers can dramatically improve performance by monitoring and analyzing real world queries.  This session covers SQL Server monitoring at various levels to the most impactful performance improvements.  The presentation will start with an overview of different optimization tools and techniques and will be based on practical examples of real-world performance monitoring and troubleshooting.  Details include the use of server monitoring tools, SQL Profiler, the Database Tuning Advisor, and analyzing query plans, Dynamic Management Views, and related methods.  The overall emphasis will be on solving practical, real-world database performance problems.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

SQL Server Reporting Services: Develop & Deploy Reports<\/h3>\n

This session will begin with a brief architectural overview of Reporting Services and details on getting up and running with Reporting Services.  Then, we will look at demonstrations of creating new reports by building connections and data sets using Report Builder and Visual Studio.  Reporting design features including parameterization, dynamic drill-downs, matrix reports, charts, and sorting will be provided.  <\/p>\n

Next, we’ll look at deployment details, including scheduling reports, configuring caching, creating snapshots, and managing security.  The presentation will also include details about new reporting and BI features in SQL Server 2012 <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Those topics are updated versions of presentations I\u2019ve done in the past.  I\u2019m still trying to decide whether they\u2019d work best as one-hour or two-hour sessions.  Feel free to leave comments below if you have any opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
