Want to Learn Something New in 2017?

Happy New Year everyone!

This is the time of year when we all make plans and set goals for the new year, right?

So what are you going to do different this year? How about grow your career by learning something new?

How?

  1. Read a book on an area of tech you are not so familiar with. Cloud perhaps?  My recommendation, of course, is to check out the new Cloud Data Warehouse for Dummies book I mentioned in my post last month. Or maybe one of my ebooks listed on the blog sidebar?
  2. Attend a webinar. My favorite user group, ODTUG, has a continuous lineup of FREE webinars through out the year. You can see the list and sign up here. (I will be giving one next week!)
  3. Attend a conference or meetup.  As I mentioned in my post on staying current, nothing beats meeting and learning from folks face-to-face.  Plan ahead, budget some time and training money to attend one of the many industry events that happen all year. For some ideas, check out my speaking schedule for 2017 with options around the US.

 

So what will it be? If possible try to do at least one of each – read a book, attend a webinar, go to a meetup!

Make 2017 a great year!

P.S. If you plan to attend any of my in-person talks, please drop me a line to let me know! And be sure to follow me on twitter or check my schedule periodically as I am adding new talks and locations all the time.

The 2nd course that is ready to go is Implementing Data Vault with Informatica. This online course walks you through the details of implementing a Data Vault-based data warehouse using Informatica.

You can see the full outline for all the topics and modules here.

Would You Like to Load a Data Vault like a Master?

If you are about to embark on a Data Vault project this year, and not quite sure the best way to load your data into a Data Vault efficiently, I have a great opportunity for you.

Dan and Sanjay have been hard at work re-vamping the Learn Data Vault site and are now ready to relaunch with a brand new look and feel.

The first course out of the gate is the SQL Implementation course. This online course walks you through the details of implementing a Data Vault-based data warehouse using plain and simple SQL. These are the same techniques I have been successfully using for over 10 years on my Data Vault (and even Non-DV) projects. I learned them from Dan in my very first Data Vault class and have used them ever since.

They just work!

If you are building on a standard relational database platform (on premises or in the cloud), this class gives you all the patterns and code examples you need to move data into not only Hubs, Links, and Sats but your staging areas as well. It also includes the techniques for implementing very efficient change data capture (i.e., delta detection).

You can see the full outline for all the topics and modules here.

The Deal

So the deal is that originally the Retail Price was  $997. But right now with the re-launched site, this class is marked down to $797  for a short time (a savings of $200). This course has sold in the past for $1497 and they could raise it back up at anytime.

The Better Deal: A Fire Sale

Starting today until February 13th, Learn Data Vault is having a Fire Sale! You can take another $400 off with this special Data Warrior Coupon Code:  DWFS400OFF.

So with the mark down price plus my coupon you can get the Data Vault SQL Implementation class for  only $397 (a savings of $600).

But remember is is only good until February 13 (1 week from today!).

UPDATE: If you are reading this after the sale is over you can still get a discount by using my special blog reader discount code: Kent10S which will get you 20% off.

So don’t delay – sign up for the class today. It is the quickest way for your to get productive with your Data Vault implementation I know. (And it does not hurt that you can uses these techniques for lots of non-data vault systems too. I have.)

Why a Fire Sale?

So if this class is so good, why such great sale?

I asked Sanjay the same thing. This is what he told me:

  1. This is really a re-launch on a new platform and they really want to give it a workout.
  2. There may be some small errors on the site that they missed during QA. (The price will go up once they are sure it is completely error free)
  3. They need feedback on the new site to be sure it is the best it can be and this is the best way to get that feedback quickly – get people using the site!
  4. It’s Valentines Day!

So please sign up ASAP before the coupon code expires.

SQL Rules!

Happy Coding!
