SQL Server Videos

Published on February 26, 2013 by Matan Yungman in SQLServerPedia Syndication, Videos

About two weeks ago, I wrote about SQL Server Podcasts and why I love that medium so much.
Today, I want to talk about the various video sources for SQL Server (luckily for us, there are lots of them).
The video medium is great because you can view sessions from the top speakers in the world without leaving your chair. If you feel you don’t need an eye contact with a specific session, you can upload it to your phone/USB drive/CD and listen in your car or any other place, just like a Podcast.
For the sake of order, I will make an artificial distinction between the sources. The categories will be conferences, Pass virtual chapters, Webcasts, other free sources and pay sites.
