I’m presenting in Madison!

One of my goals for the year was to present at least twice. I’m happy to say that I’m making progress on that goal – my first presentation was selected for SQL Saturday #118 in Madison, WI!

I’ll be presenting “Practically Normal”, a practical introduction to normalization. Normalization is a key concept in a relational database. It’s not difficult in practice, but too often, it’s explained in very technical terms, which makes it sound extremely difficult. My goal is to explain the first few normal forms in layman’s terms and using plenty of examples so that those in attendance can walk away with an idea of how they can apply it in their environments.

I hope you can join me on April 21! It promises to be a great day!
