Sul canale SQLPASS TV, continua la pubblicazione delle sessioni erogate al PASS Summit 2011. Questa settimana è stata pubblicata la sessione Zero to Cube - Fast Track to SSAS Development tenuta da Adam Jorgensen (President @ Pragmatic Works Consulting).

Abstract

This session was TOP 3 in its track last year and is always a crowd pleaser. I won a coveted Summit Spolight Session at SQL Rally this year by popular vote and it has been a hit at SQL Saturday’s all over the east coast because it is 100% demo and driven with real world data the attendees can get and use themselves. In this session, the attendees will learn how to drive and build an Analysis Services cube and reports as they rotate through the podium as volunteers. This session will show the crowd how simple it is to begin delivering powerful analysis to your end user community without going through a significant development cycle.
