NoVa SQL Server Users Group
I was honored to present a session on Beginning SSIS Development at the NoVa (Northern Virginia) SQL Server Users Group last night. I met some great people and learned a lot.
I can hear you thinking "What? You learned a lot?" Absolutely! I always learn when presenting. In fact, I would argue presenting / teaching is the best way to learn.
Presenting forces me to remain knowledgeable in my field. And it provides immediate feedback about my success at ths endeavor.
Any new technology - especially one as flexible and powerful as SSIS - will be used in unanticipated ways. This will generate unexpected results, which will in turn generate perplexing questions to presenters - usually in front of a large crowd! :)
It is all good.
It's called "learning." Experience has taught me learning is best done in groups. No one can master it all and not all at once. This is why teaching teaches.
Thanks, Nova SSUG, for the opportunity and knowledge shared!
