IT is a fast moving profession. If you aren't keeping up you are falling behind.
Participate in our next #SQLChat on Wednesday, October 18 at 11 AM CT with Kenneth Fisher (@sqlstudent144). Kenneth will be leading a discussion on learning within your career space.
What’s the new shiny thing that SQL professionals should be learning? Linux? Python? DevOps? What are your favorite methods of learning? What are the pros and cons of formal education vs self-taught education? Discuss this and other general best practices to grow your career skill-set and get to the bottom of questions that affect your everyday lives both in and out of the work space.
This #SQLChat will allow members from the SQL community to discuss SQL Server’s biggest topics with IDERA product experts, and have a chance to win this month’s giveaway prize. This month’s giveaway prize is IDERA swag including an IDERA duffel bag, t-shirts, and more.
