What’s New in SQL Server 2008

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 was released to manufacturing on Wednesday, August 6, 2008, and with its release many database developers will begin to explore its many new features and enhanced capabilities. In this interactive session, SQL Server MVP Matthew Roche will present a selection of his favorite new features in SQL Server 2008, with plenty of demonstrations and lots of time for Q&A.

Microsoft SQL Server MVP Matthew Roche is the founder and Chief Software Architect of Integral Thought & Memory, a BI-focused consultancy. Matthew has worked with Microsoft SQL Server since the mid 90s, starting with SQL Server 6.0 and 6.5, and has been falling deeper and deeper in love with SQL Server with each passing year. As a Microsoft Certified Trainer, Matthew has taught hundreds of database administrators and database developers how to better utilize SQL Server’s capabilities. As a software developer and architect, Matthew has built dozens of applications that use the SQL Server platform. Matthew has been using SQL Server 2005 since its early beta days and has been working with SQL Server 2008 since early 2007. Matthew’s current focus is on the SQL Server Business Intelligence stack, specifically SQL Server Integration Services. Today, when not delivering training, presenting on BI topics at conferences, or listening to the world’s loudest heavy metal, Matthew is hard at work helping IT&M's clients design and build enterprise business intelligence solutions using SQL Server 2005 and 2008.
