This past weekend was SQL Saturday 38 in Jacksonville Florida. It was a great event and the turnout was incredible. My presentation was first thing in the morning and as such, I enjoyed the opportunity to pass on some of my experiences with SSRS. I had a ton of material and will need to split it up into multiple presentations next time, but I believe many attendees had plenty of take aways.

I really wanted to show the R2 features since it was released last week. As such, I stayed up until 5 am on Friday to create some demo's using the databar, indicators, maps and sparklines. I hope my blood shot eyes didn't freak anyone out.  I think those in the class really enjoyed it and I hope to present again at the Orlando SQL Saturday in the next few months.

At any rate... During my presentation, I had mentioned that I would put my slide deck up on BIDN. So, here it is. Please let me know if you have any problems with the zip file.
