For those interested in the SQL Server BI space, there is a new online resource launching today.  Brian Knight and my friends over at Pragmatic Works have released the Business Intelligence Developer Network, a virtual community of business intelligence professionals.  You’ll find discussion forums, blogs, articles, a file/script sharing repository, and a community event calendar.  All resources are free, though you’ll need to create an account (also free) to access some of the content.

Want to become an author? BIDN welcomes submissions from the community, and even offers a little compensation for articles published on the site.  This is an excellent way to help others, build a new community, and strengthen your own street cred.
