Do you like free stuff? I like free stuff. We should watch a free webinar sometime.
References to Idiocracy aside, I really like free content. Luckily for us, some very kind people have donated their time to bring their knowledge to the masses via free webinars. Want to see what’s coming up? You can mosey on over to SQLBatman’s website and read all about it, or you can keep scrolling.
This is seriously some high quality content that you are going to be able to view for free. Check with your boss and add these events to your calendar, or ignore your boss and do it anyway. The point is that this is some high quality free training that you can watch from the comfort of your desk!

Brent Ozar will discuss how the system was architected, the pros and cons, and how you can build a similar solution for your own needs.
