Get a developerfocused introduction to the new programmability features in the next version of Microsoft SQL Server, including integration with the Microsoft .NET Framework, and learn powerful new ways to manipulate your servers. About the Author Peter DeBetta started programming at the age of 10 and eventually turned this pastime into a career. He continued writing software until he attended college, where he switched his computer passions to graphic design. Peter studied linguistics during his fouryear undergraduate stay at Bucknell University and eventually applied his human language concepts back into his computer programming. Shortly after graduating from Bucknell in 1990 and teaching mathematics in a private college preparatory school, Peter began his career in software programming and combined the two passions of his life to begin teaching Microsoft Access and Visual Basic (version 2.0) programming and has been teaching both ever since. Peter acquired other computing skills along the way including Java, ASP, VBScript, JavaScript, and his now true love, SQL Server and TransactSQL. Peter now teaches exclusively for Wintellect, in addition to consulting and developing enterpriselevel software solutions for his own company, DeBetta Software.
