You're starting out in the workfield of a DBA. Just as I did about ten years ago.

There is a lot of information out there, you'll here names drop but who are they. You'll here about tools and probably that you can't do your job without "this tool". And just when you got used to all the on-premises stuff, there's the cloud. Where everything changes on a daily basis.

If you're reading this, you've already taken a very important step, you're out here learning on your day off. Excellent! Now I'll take you along my journey towards becoming a DBA, both on-premises and on Azure. It's fun, it's hard work but very rewarding!

I'll show you my favorite tools, books and scripts to give you some structure in advancing your knowledge. I'll show you some techniques I'm using to dive deeper into subjects that interest me and more.

Remember, you're always welcome to ask questions, before, during and after the session.

See you soon!
