A good application starts with a good database design. Data is nowadays the most important assets of a company. In our high competitive world, it is an advantage if decisions are supported with timely information from the data. However, low quality of data leads to unreliable information.
 Data Modeling Essentials is a high-end seminar, intended for SQL Server and other RDBMS professionals, including solution architects and IT managers. The course introduces all modern data models, including relational, dimensional and object-relational. During the course, many design myths are going to be revealed.

Data mining looks very simple when it is presented on various conferences. However, in real life, you need quite advanced knowledge in order to mine the data efficiently. During the seminar, attendees are going to learn how to make an overview and gather basic understanding of your data even before you start to mine it. In addition, we are going to explain how the algorithms work, how they can find patterns. Finally, we are going to discuss how to use data mining in your applications.

SQL Server 2008 now supports Spatial Data. With this technology you are enabled to develop “location-aware” application. In this workshop you are going to learn Spatial Data basics and how to use them effectively in your applications.

Por sexta vez consecutiva, Solid Quality Mentors organiza en Madrid su Summit anual, con intervención de la mayor parte del equipo de mentores de habla hispana, así como algunos invitados de Microsoft y otros partners.

 

In diesem Seminar lernen Sie Fähigkeiten, die SQL Server Professionals brauchen, um SQL Server 2008 zu administrieren. Dazu gehört das Installieren und Konfigurieren des SQL Servers, das Durchführen und Warten von Backups, Useraccounts, Permissions, Tasks, Bulk Data Operations und Disaster Recovery. Weiters erfolgen erste Einblicke in die Integration Services, High Availability und Performance Tuning.

As we celebrate the first decade of .NET development we realize that a lot has changed. In a nutshell, development is now much harder because the complexity of the average application has grown significantly. So now the RAD paradigm privileging productivity and raw performance over everything else no longer applies with the same effectiveness. Development needs more effort and resources, but to be really effective it needs to be sustainable. The class addresses this common need by discussing three aspects of applications: quality of code, modeling and layers. Low quality code has a cost and design principles, common practices (refactoring, testing), static analysis, metrics and frameworks for semantic correctness help keeping it affordable. Today, a successful project is a project whose facts and requisites are well understood and communicated. Modeling is an area with very few certainties as far as best practices are concerned, but just for this reason tools, technologies and practices are revised and refined at a surprising speed. Revisiting pillars of object-orientation, the class introduces domain-centric, behavior-focused modeling techniques that represent an affordable approach for many projects. Pinpointing proper layers in the domain of a solution is a key step to guarantee maintainability, extensibility, and testability across the horizontal sections of a typical application¡Xpresentation, business, data.
The class is rich of examples often based on newest technologies such as Managed Extensibility Framework, Code Contracts, Entity Framework 4, NHibernate, ASP.NET MVC.
