Continuing on from Day 1, which was an
Introduction or Refresher to SQL Querying, we dug deeper into some of the SQL
Server specific Business Intelligence technology stack. SSIS, SSRS and SSAS to
be exact.
This was the
area of learning the team of trainers at TPLC (The Professional Learning
Centre) were most determined to learn. They gave me a lot of
feedback from Day 1 on their learning style and I made adjustments in certain
area to speed up and slow down the material. In some ways it felt like a two
year old learning how to count because they were so passionate about what they
were learning. This team asked so many intriguing questions that in some cases
I had homework for myself at the end of the day to take back to my hotel and
research.
At the beginning of Day 2, I started the training discussion with the
image below. I told them they this may look foreign at this hour, but by the
end of the training all the components will come life one session at a time.
Many times throughout Days 1 & 2 I would reference back to this image as
their learning started to come to together as understanding.
After many discussions and example of the uses of independent BI components of SQL Server: Integration Services, Analysis Services and Reporting Services I know there would be many questions to come in the upcoming days of training. The picture below shows one of my students after a day of information overload. You have to love the fact that they are willing to stay late to learn new concepts.
