The NJ SQL Server User Group’s May meeting will be on May 16th, and features Kent Tegels (a SQL Server MVP, my friend, and a trainer with DevelopMentor). His presentation is titled "10 Must Know Things About XML in SQL Server 2005" (like I said he is a friend of mine, with a title like that, who could not have figured that out?). Kent isn’t from NJ (or even NYC). He is a long way from home (Nebraska), but happens to be doing some SQL Server training for DevelopMentor in the NJ/NYC area. I’ve been bragging to him about how great the NJSQL group has been going (exceeding all expectations for a 5 month old user group), and I know the members will not let me down, and show Kent just what I’ve been talking about. There is a definite need for developer oriented SQL Server user groups, and with a little more national exposure I’m sure that there will be other data tier developer user groups popping up soon. If you haven’t had a chance to see Kent speak on SQL Server yet, you are definitely in for a treat. XML and SQL Server 2005, what’s not to like? Hmm, maybe add a little good quality local beer? Not during the presentation, but maybe afterwards. Technorati tags: sql server sql xml sql user group

About donxml
I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
