Top that with some great give-away prices and it will be as awesome as Tech.Ed 2007 and Remix for academics. I’m not sure what technologies will be presented yet but expect a glance of Visual Studio 2008, Silverlight, and Expression.

Peter Ward presents SQL Server 2005 to QUT students
It is with great pleasure to have Peter Ward presenting SQL Server 2005 at the Queensland University of Technology on May the 4th.

Students will have the privilege to understand the importance of SQL Server in the industry and tackle the best features of SQL Server 2005. They will also be introduced the SQL Server community based in Brisbane, the Queensland SQL Server User Group.
I find this event a great opportunity for QUT students to hear from a professional user of SQL Server sharing his valuable knowledge. It is also encouraging and motivating students starving of technology.
