I'll be presenting at the Monthly FoxPASS meeting next Wednesday Feb 6th. I'll be speaking on SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio 2012. I've submitted it to SQL Saturday #206 as well. Here is my entirely too wordy abstract:
Summary: Application development has for a long time had processes, controls and tools for code management; including source control, build management, code refactoring, deployment packaging and more. Management of database code has been an afterthought, perhaps keeping scripts in source control or using third-part schema comparison tools, but the times are changing. In 2007, Microsoft introduced Data Dude for Visual Studio 2005 to fill the gap. It was buggy and lacking in many respects, but it mostly worked and was a welcome step in the right direction. Many versions later we have SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2012 (and 2010). A much more mature product that finally brings database development up to par with traditional application development and has many features data geeks like ourselves will truly love. This talk will provide a quick overview of SSDT’s features and show you how to get started using it to save time, implement better code controls and be a better DBA or database developer.
