SQL Friday is a weekly online lunch seminar about Microsoft Data Platform. It’s hosted by Magnus Ahlkvist (B | T) and financed by Transmokopter SQL AB.
Every friday, at noon Central European Time, a new speaker will present on a new topic (or by all means by the same topic as a previous speaker, with a different angle).
All the sessions are recorded and published on Youtube. You will be able to watch the sessions right on here, just follow the Past Sessions link.
You register to upcoming events on our Meetup page: https://www.meetup.com/SQL-Friday/.
