NewsGator Database Architect Shares SQL Expertise in New Book

NewsGator database architect, Glenn Berry, discloses valuable insights into Microsoft SQL Server development and administration in a new book of tips, techniques, and experience-driven best practices for database development.

SQL Server MVP Deep Dives contains chapters from NewsGator's Glenn Berry as well as 52 other SQL Server MVPs (Microsoft "Most Valuable Professionals"). Glenn's chapters are "Using Database Mirroring to Become a Superhero" and "Dr. DMV: How to use Dynamic Management Views."

As Glenn says, "the SQL database is the heart and soul of many important business applications such as the NewsGator Social Sites enterprise social networking application."  Indeed, "In Social Sites, SQL is the clearinghouse for all the information an enterprise generates about people, their work, and their opportunities for sharing that information to increase productivity.  Consequently, the quality of the database administration ultimately affects the enterprises's performance, which is why the knowledge in this book is valuable."

Glenn has a long list of Microsoft certifications, including CITP, MCDBA, MCSE, MCSD, MCAD, and MCTS, and he is also an adjunct faculty member and master teacher at University College - University Denver.  

One final neat point about this book: all author royalties go to War Child International, a network of independent organizations working across the world to help children affected by war.

Congratulations, Glenn!
