So, I just wrapped up a week of the SQL Skills IE2 Performance Tuning Class.  I have to say I was thoroughly impressed.  I already followed the blogs of Paul Randal and Kimberly Tripp, but now I will certainly be adding Joe Sack, Jonathan Kehayias and Bob Beauchemin.  Though the team regularly blogs and puts a ton of information out there, being able to be there in person and ask questions, made me really feel like I got a lot more out of it than just reading along online.  If you couldn’t tell,  I would highly recommend attending any of their classes if you are able.
