One more weekend coming up and one more exciting speaking engagement. This time it will be the Gulf Coast Code Camp at Mobile, AL.

The Gulf Coast Code Camp is a free one-day code camp being held at the University of South Alabama, Mobile, Alabama. It is being organized by an enthusiastic group of wonderful people. I must say they have a beautiful website and their email & twitter campaign has been really nice. You can look at the session details and register here —

This will be Mobile’s largest technical event in 2017 and a great networking opportunity. There will be quality talks on Web Development, Cloud Technologies, DevOps, Database, Front end technologies and more. If this interests you, make sure you register and also help spread the word in social media.

I am excited to be presenting 2 talks during this event —

I will be presenting the SQL Server 2016 talk at the PASS Summit 2017 in Seattle next month. So it will be a good practice run for me and am sure the attendees will like it.

Another talk on SSMS 2017 Productivity, which I have presented multiple times this year to different audience and have always received a good feedback.

The details of the session are below —
