Presentations

I've done some presentations over the years.  Starting in 2008, I've posted materials (presentation and source code) for each presentation on this web site.  If you find these useful, please reach out and let me know!

SQL Management Objects (SMO)
Automation for SQL Server 2005 is easily facilitated using SQL Server's Management Objects API.  This easy to implement managed-code API allows developers and DBA's to perform an extensive array of tasks on SQL Server instances (without having to know all those pesky System Views and Stored Procedures)

Object Oriented Programming - Getting Going
Software architects and evangelists are always talking about great OO design.  But, what does that mean?  This presentation (first given at the Tampa IASA group) evaluates the tenants of good OO practice, in practical terms.  Great for those just getting started, or experienced developers who might want a refresh!

LINQ to SQL
LINQ is a powerful new language feature in the .Net Framework 3.5.  LINQ to SQL provides first-class O/R mapping support using the LINQ extensions in .Net.  This presentation studies how to get started with LINQ to SQL, as well as advanced topics (dealing with concurrency, transactions, customization with stored procedures, and more).
