Good day SQL folks!
Last week was pretty hot not because of the weather. Microsoft has bought GitHub and this was the news number one for most of the time. Meanwhile I was attending the ITCamp in Cluj giving two lectures about USQL and RLS Security implementation in SQL Server. Especially the second session went not as usual as there was no electricity in the venue and I was the only one who did the session. I had a portable beamer and two power banks and full room of people.
Now let’s start the Monday with something new to read.
