I want free learning. Lots and lots of free learning. Why? Because nobody else is going to pay for it in these troubling economic times.
You might now be wondering “How can I get some free learning?” Well, I’ll tell you how: The Internets.
By using the internets you have access to a ton of free training. Crazy Helpful people just write up blog posts and give presentations via LiveMeeting out of nothing more than kindness so that you can get your learn on for free.
Understanding Execution Plans On Tuesday, August 11th at 1pm EST Grant Fritchey will be sharing some of his execution plan knowledge with everyone! This is a LiveMeeting and audio will be provided via the computer, not your telephone, so bring headphones to work if you want to listen in.
Quest Connect 2009 Brent has a great article up on his upcoming speaking engagement at Quest Connect, which will also feature Tim Ford and Tom LaRock. Brent was also kind enough to include links to multiple other sources of free training.
24 Hours of PASS Starting at midnight GMT on September 2nd, there will be 24 hours of PASS presentations available for the world to see. Check out the list of sessions and speakers. This is a great free event, don’t miss this opportunity to learn from some incredibly sharp people. Ready for the best part? The speakers will be available to take your questions while you watch the presentation. So go ahead and register. You can learn while you eat corn flakes.

Hahaha, nice writeup. The Internets – source for all that is good.
Hi Jeremiah,
I am interested in the 24 hours of SQL but when I fill out the registration it doesn’t seem to allow me to submit. Any insight on this?
Stuart, sorry about the delay getting back to you. I have it on good authority from PASS that registration for 24 Hours of PASS will be live tomorrow or, hopefully, later on today.
Stuart – everything should be fixed with the 24 Hours of PASS sign up form. If you continue to have problems, let me know and I’ll make sure someone takes a look at it.
