Hey-O!

Eric Johnson and I (Josh) are doing a webcast in conjunction with CA and Redmond Developer News on Data Modeling. To register for the event, click here. Below is the description. Come on by; we'll be talking about why data modeling is important, covering data model basics, and how CA's ERWin tool can help you build data models. Plus, we're trying to work out a deal to give away some sample chapters from our upcoming book, "Architecting Database Models for SQL Server".

Understanding and Applying Data Modeling in Application Development

Date: Tuesday, November 13, 2007
Time: 2:00 PM Eastern; 11:00 AM Pacific

About the Webcast:
Data modeling is the process of mapping real world information requirements to logical representations of the supporting data. Once your logical model is complete, you can start thinking about transforming it into a physical database model. Keeping the logical and physical model separate, but "in sync" will help ensure that you build a solid database that reflects the business needs.

This technical Webcast gives you a thorough understanding of data modeling and shows you how to apply data modeling to application development. This presentation:

  • Takes a close look at entities, attributes, and relationships, and how you can use them to build a logical model.
  • Demonstrates how to take entities, attributes, and relationships and turn them into tables, columns, and keys.
  • Looks at how you can use modeling tools like CA ERwin® DM to help in the process of creating a logical data model and mapping it to a physical database structure.

    Don’t miss the audience Q&A session following the presentations – always a hit with developers!

    Josh and I have been hard at work on Architecting Database Models for SQL Server (Addison-Wesley). With the release of this title coming so close to SQL Server 2008, we have deceided to update the book to contain all the new peices that will be relavent to 2008 and data modeling. Look for coverage of the following features:

    • New Datatypes
    • Spatial Databases
    • Entity Data Platform
    • New T-SQL Syntax
    • and more....

    We want to give you a complete look at database modeling in SQL Server, so that means waiting just a little while to get the book into your hands. Look for it in the Summer of 2008.

    Eric
