Our Main Presentation:

Database Projects - Just Do It - Leslie Weed and Jeff Renz

If you aren't using database projects you should be and if you aren't using any source control well..... NOW IS THE TIME. We'll review basic functionality and purpose of both and walk through how they work together. Let's talk about the type of foundation pieces you need to pay attention to and how to organize this into team and agile work. Lots of tips and tricks to remove the often experienced headaches that developers have experienced with implementing both of these items.
