We are four weeks away from the next 24 Hours of PASS event, and the registrations continue to mount. I have participated in all four 24 HoP to date and each one holds a special memory for me. But when all is said and done this coming event has the potential to be my favorite of the bunch.
Past 24 HoP events have been focused on giving viewers a preview of PASS Summit content. The event last Spring was focused on SQL 2008 R2. This event is not a preview. Instead it is simply full of SQL-goodness and I can’t wait for it to get started. I’ll register, and likely watch, all 24 sessions so it would be hard for me to pick a few favorites that I want to see next month. But here goes anyway:
SQL SERVER PERFORMANCE TOOLS (Cindy Gross)
