Off to DevTeach

I'm off to DevTeach in Montreal this weekend and part of next week. It looks to be a great conference with some very respected speakers and a wealth of content.

I'm giving three presentations:

Configuring and Deploying SSIS Packages
Kirk Haselden - SQL236 – Sunday 19/06/2005 1:30-2:45 Room: Musset
Moving packages around is perhaps one of the most problematic issues users must face when using DTS. Integrations services has introduced infrastructure for simplifying this process. This talk will describe what that infrastructure looks like, how to use the deployment, configuration and other features it provides to simplify package deployment. We’ll also touch on various best practices, tips and tricks.

Data Flow in SSIS
Kirk Haselden - SQL237 – Tuesday 21/06/2005 8:00-9:15 Room: Musset
In this talk I will give an overall architectural review of the Data Flow capabilities of Integration Services. I will also drill down a little on specific features Integration Services provides for data flow. We’ll look at several important adapters and transforms including the flat file adapter, OLEDB adapter, Lookup, Conditional Split and others.

What’s new in DTS
Kirk Haselden - SQL235 – Tuesday 21/06/2005 9:30-10:45 Room: Salon B
Everything has changed and DTS is now called Integration Services. The new name reflects Microsoft’s expanded approach to the ETL and integration space. While covering a few key philosophical changes, the more obvious feature changes and many of the new features, I’ll also cover what hasn’t changed so that experienced DTS users will have a starting point from which to begin their exploration of Integration Services.

I'm looking forward to meeting some of you there. If you get a chance, please stop by and chat.

Thanks,
