I believe the life of the developer can only be understood by other fellow developers. It’s a strange and sometimes lonely life, but comes with mighty headaches and frustrations, challenges and achievements. When you’ve had enough of chasing down bugs and grown too old to survive coding late into the night, you decide to do something sensible. You become a DBA or a project leader and are downgraded to a slightly less strange member of the IT family.

But whatever your role, every day will throw new adventures your way. At Norb Technologies we develop SQL Server performance tuning software, and ride the daily waves, up and down, through technical heaven and hell. Through our experiences we have gathered many solutions to problems and ideas for articles. As a result we decided to bring them together to share with the community on this web site.

We have recently become affiliates of SQL Server DVD with database expert Kalen Delaney. Kalen has put her name and guru-level knowledge to a series of SQL Server training videos and we have been given special permission to spread the word about these great products. Lesson 1 covers Architecture and Metadata and is available to buy now for just $33.95!
