Eating The Elephant: SQL Server Table Partitioning

Is your table fat? Do you need to manage a table that has billions of rows within it and are overwhelmed by index rebuilds that take more than 12 hours? SQL Server's table partitioning gives the DBA the tools to manage this beast and support very large tables in a way where index management and data retrieval does not become unwieldy. This presentation will take you step by step through choosing an appropriate partitioning key, setting up the partitioning on the table, and finally maintaining the partitions.

The logical evolution of the often too fine-grained process of Test-Driven Development, BDD not only represents a somewhat different technical practice but, more importantly, it also suggests an entirely different way of thinking about your system and the way in which you test it.

In this session we will begin with a series of simple User Stories and demonstrate how the BDD process supports our codifying these User Stories into a series of "executable specifications" that can be used to validate the proper functionality of our complex software system. We will work at first without any of the complex overhead of so-called "BDD Frameworks" to demonstrate the important concepts of BDD and then move on to investigate how and why one might look to use various "BDD Frameworks" to offload some of the repetitive work often involved in the BDD process.

Attendees should expect to leave with a good understanding of both the conceptual process that is Behavior-Driven Development as well as some of the technical practices that can help support its successful adoption.

5/22/2012- 6:30 PM - PC Professor, West Palm Beach - If 50,000,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong, then 25,000,000 websites (and every single browser) are pretty close to a sure thing. Since its release in 2006, jQuery has gained a tremendous following--so much so that in 2008, Microsoft made the decision to replace its then 20-month old ASP.NET Ajax framework with jQuery for all future client side programming libraries. Despite not having an official standard, HTML 5 is becoming the standard for cross-browser, cross-platform web applications. And although it historically has been implemented differently in every browser, CSS is essential for using and styling HTML elements. In this session, we'll look at the fundamentals of this technology triumvirate, explore some of the main features of each, and see how to start new or enhance existing applications. This will be a technology agnostic talk, so whether you develop in WebForms, MVC, Ruby, Java or PHP, there's something in this session to be learned and applied tomorrow. Apex Systems, Inc will be providing us with food and beverages to enjoy during the meeting.

Being presented at the Baton Rouge Marriott, Salon 3 & 4.

The year 2012 is an exciting one for IT professionals, and it's a banner year for Microsoft. We've got valuable new products and solutions on the horizon, such as System Center 2012 and Windows Server 8, and we're developing fresh, innovative ways to help you manage your infrastructure.
Gearing up for the Future (Camp Part 1)
You've probably heard Microsoft's new slogan: "Be What's Next." For IT pros, however, it can be tough to simply keep up with what's happening today. Maybe you'd like to replace older versions of server operating systems and technologies, but you're losing sleep over the potential service disruptions.
In this session, we'll look at migration technologies that will help you transition to the latest versions of our solutions and take full advantage of Windows Server 2008. You'll also get a chance to play and tinker with these useful technologies. Making the transition to current products isn't always easy, but we have ways to help you get there – and get you ready for the future of IT and business productivity.
The Future is Sooner Than You Think (Camp Part 2)
Now that you're ready for what's next, aren't you eager to see it in greater detail? There's a new wave of IT organizations and professionals who are moving closer to true cloud computing. At the same time, many of us are still wondering how the cloud fits our IT environment, or how it will benefit our businesses.
In this camp session, we'll explore the future of the cloud. Together, we'll discover what System Center 2012 will bring to IT organizations – both in overall manageability and support for private, public and hybrid clouds. We'll also introduce and demonstrate the next version of Windows Server (codename Windows Server 8).

1.The Azure Platform– An Overview- Let’s start off the day with a dive into Windows Azure. We’ll talk about what Windows Azure offers, from hosting applications to durable storage. We’ll look at Windows Azure roles types, hosting web applications and worker processes. We’ll also cover durable storage options, both traditional relational database that is offered as SQL Azure, or more cloud-centric offerings in Windows Azure Storage for files, semi-structured data, and queues.

2.Hands on @home with Azure- For this hands-on portion of the day, we’ll work on the @home with Windows Azure project (http://distributedcomputing.cloudapp.net). The @home project will give you a solid understanding of using Windows Azure in a project that contributes back to Stanford’s Folding@home distributed computing project. We’ll walk through the code, provisioning an account, and getting the application deployed and running.

3.Caching – A Scalable Middle Tier- Creating a stateless application is a difficult but fundamental aspect of building a scalable application in the cloud. In this session, we’ll talk about the Windows Azure Cache service and using it as a middle tier to maintain state and cache objects that can be shared by multiple instances.

4.SQL Azure, Data Sync, and Reporting- SQL Azure offers a scalable database as a service without having to configure and maintain hardware. We’ll look at the subtle differences between on premises SQL Server databases and SQL Azure, and how Data Sync can be used to synchronize data between multiple databases both in the cloud and on premises. We’ll also look at SQL Azure Reporting.

5.Windows 8 and Azure – Better Together- The consumer preview of Windows 8 is out, and it’s the perfect time to ramp up on developing native Metro-style applications. In this session, we’ll give an overview of Windows 8, and delivering a richer user experience by leveraging a cloud backend.

1.The Azure Platform– An Overview- Let’s start off the day with a dive into Windows Azure. We’ll talk about what Windows Azure offers, from hosting applications to durable storage. We’ll look at Windows Azure roles types, hosting web applications and worker processes. We’ll also cover durable storage options, both traditional relational database that is offered as SQL Azure, or more cloud-centric offerings in Windows Azure Storage for files, semi-structured data, and queues.

2.Hands on @home with Azure- For this hands-on portion of the day, we’ll work on the @home with Windows Azure project (http://distributedcomputing.cloudapp.net). The @home project will give you a solid understanding of using Windows Azure in a project that contributes back to Stanford’s Folding@home distributed computing project. We’ll walk through the code, provisioning an account, and getting the application deployed and running.

3.Caching – A Scalable Middle Tier- Creating a stateless application is a difficult but fundamental aspect of building a scalable application in the cloud. In this session, we’ll talk about the Windows Azure Cache service and using it as a middle tier to maintain state and cache objects that can be shared by multiple instances.

4.SQL Azure, Data Sync, and Reporting- SQL Azure offers a scalable database as a service without having to configure and maintain hardware. We’ll look at the subtle differences between on premises SQL Server databases and SQL Azure, and how Data Sync can be used to synchronize data between multiple databases both in the cloud and on premises. We’ll also look at SQL Azure Reporting.

5.Windows 8 and Azure – Better Together- The consumer preview of Windows 8 is out, and it’s the perfect time to ramp up on developing native Metro-style applications. In this session, we’ll give an overview of Windows 8, and delivering a richer user experience by leveraging a cloud backend.

Dean Richards is a Senior Product Architect for Confio Software will be presenting "SQL Server on VMware???" Most of our customers have virtualized their application tier, but now are either virtualizing databases or planning to do so soon. Some companies have tried to virtualize databases on VMware already but went back to physical hardware because of performance issues. There are many reasons this may have happened, but quite often the decision to go back to physical was not based on hard facts. This presentation will explore the fundamentals of monitoring databases running in a VMware environment. If you are using classic O/S monitoring tools using standard Perfmon counters, you are getting incomplete and sometimes misleading information. Understand which metrics are important and how to get the data.

Caparea.net - Embrace Async - Brian Noyes (MVP/RD)

Address: 1900 Gallows Road
City: Vienna
State: VA
Zip Code: 22182
Description:
Async is the new sync. Face it, no one likes to write asynchronous, multithreaded code. Well, no one in their right mind anyway. But more and more we need to do it, especially on the client side. Silverlight and WinRT make us do just about anything that doesn't involve the UI itself using asynchronous APIs. With the new async keywords being added to C# and VB, as well as the async patterns of JavaScript, we have the tools to make async a bit easier to deal with. This session will start by presenting the new async keywords in C# and the way you can write sequential discontinuous code. Then you will learn some of what is going on under the covers and how you can address more advanced and optimized scenarios by working with Tasks directly. You will also get a brief exposure to the Parallel class and PLINQ for dealing with collections in an async way. After this session, you will be able to approach asynchronous programming with calm confidence that the code you write will be readable and easy to understand, while still non-blocking and performant.

Now with Entity Framework Code First we can ditch the XML files and define the data model directly in code. This session will give an overview of all of the awesomeness that is Code First including Data Annotations, Fluent API, DbContext and the new Migrations feature. Be prepared for a fast moving and interactive session filled with great information on how to access your data.
