Well, I guess that’s it. It’s time to say goodbye to 2010 and welcome a brand new year: 2011!
Like last year, in this post I am presenting a set of selected tweets I did in 2010 grouped into different categories.
Again, it was a great experience communicating with the SQL Server Community among other, via Twitter. I hope you find my tweets useful!
The categories of my tweets are:
- SQL Server Performance Tips
- Events-Related – Screencasts – Webcasts
- Blog Announcements
- Microsoft DevDays 2010 – Cyprus
- Regional CEE MVP Open Days 2010
- Miscellaneous
OK! Enough “talking!” Here are the tweets!

Preparing my session for #Microsoft DevDays – It’s all about data! – http://bit.ly/9G8qhs #MVPBuzz #in
All set! Now let’s talk about Data Access!
OK, I think it is time for some Greek frappe coffee and a final test of my session for tomorrow’s #DevDays 2010 in Cyprus! #in
Tomorrow it will be a great day for software developers in #Cyprus! #Microsoft #DevDays 2010 will be taking place! #in
Less than a day left for MS #DevDays 2010 in #Cyprus! #in
I guess that’s it! My demos for #Microsoft #DevDays 2010 are fully completed! Who knows? I’ll might prepare a bonus demo as well! 🙂 #in
Playing around with Fiddler2 and my WCF data service, i really like this tool! 🙂 #in
@dgkanatsios Totally agree. Fiddler is a great tool! I always use it in my demos when WCF data services (and not only) are involved 🙂
When testing a WCF data service in IE8 remember to uncheck “Turn on feed reading view” in Internet Options-Content-Feeds and Web Slices.
Great Visual Studio 2010 Theme Pack for Windows 7 http://bit.ly/bCEcNA
@Damir Great idea! I am sure they will like it! 🙂
WCF Data Service completed! “Consuming” the service in IE8 🙂
LINQ to Entities demos completed. It is time to build a WCF data service…
Demos set 1 completed. Already 1 am. Tomorrow I will complete the rest of my demo sets: LINQ to Entities and WCF Data Services!
Working on my first set of demos on Entity Framework for #DevDays 2010. Working with Visual Studio 2010 is so cool!

SELECT ‘ALTER DATABASE ‘ + name + ‘ SET READ_WRITE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE’ FROM SYS.DATABASES | The gen. T-SQL switches the DBs to R/W mode
A simple advise: always double-check your T-SQL code which is to be used for manipulating multiple databases! #MVPBuzz
Wishing a Happy New Year 2011 full of health and of course … SQL Server!
