Kansas City SQL Server User Group Members,

This is a reminder that the Kansas City SQL Server User Group will be meeting this Thursday October 28, 2010 @ 2:30PM. This month Bill Fellows will be speaking on some of new and many times underused TSQL Features in 2005 and 2008.

Bill Fellows, @billinkc, has been interested in development since his Apple ][ days. His interest in database systems was sparked when he crashed the corporate ERP system in 1999 with a well crafted SQL statement. Since then, he hasn't crashed any databases but he has been developing against SQL Server in a variety of languages since the 7.0 days.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Have you heard about the KC IT user group fair? The Kansas City SQL Server Users Group will be one of ~30 specialized IT groups participating in this event on November 1st from 4-8pm @ JCCC. Come down and see what the technology community has to offer & get involved! For info & registration, see: http://www.kcitp.com/2010/10/13/kc-it-user-group-fair/

Lastly, I'd also like to thank everyone that made it to the SQL Saturday event held earlier this month, especially all the sponsors and volunteers. The event was an enormous success and we're already looking forward to next year's event!

Here's what a few of the SQL Server community bloggers had to say about SQL Saturday #53:

Thomas LaRock
"... they would be number one for all the SQL Saturday’s I have attended to date."

Arie Jones
" This was probably my #1 SQL Saturday..."

Kathi Kellenberger
" If you were lucky enough to be a part of SQL Saturday #53 yesterday, you could have seen presentations by out of town SQL Server gurus Tom LaRock (SQL Rockstar), Steve Jones, Sudhir Gajre, Wendy Pastrick, Chris Shaw, Karen Lopez and many more."

Chris Shaw
" I have not been to a better location for an event of this size where the fee was 0."
