Since the course is practical in nature, date warehouse beginners and intermediate users benefit from it equally.

Since 1998, he has accumulated eight database certifications from Microsoft. Kalman is an MCDBA.

The CD-ROM and Flash downloadable files contain full-motion, screen-image video with rich audio narration. They were prepared with Camtasia Studio (camtasia.com) and are played back via Flash (macromedia.com). Audio recording was done with Duo Professional Preamp. This particular method of multimedia training represents the best learning environment for the student. It is also the most cost-effective way to acquire database knowledge and administration skills. The CD-ROM is broken down into 16 units, each typically eight minutes long. The student can replay each unit as often as necessary to master it. Mouse movements in Analysis Manager (an administrative OLAP cube GUI tool) can be learned by tracing the full-motion screen image. The student can achieve verbal confidence in data warehousing and business intelligence by narrating along. Data warehouse development can be mastered as queries are run in Query Analyzer (a programming tool), and explained by the expert trainer in the background. Other data warehouse tools, such as DTS, are presented as well with true moving monitor images in full color.

Mastering the full-motion screen image video SQL Server 2000 data warehouse training series is equivalent to 12 months on-the-job experience. This is a source of confidence for data warehouse beginners looking for their first business-intelligence jobs. It is also reassurance for data analysts and IT professionals expanding their business-intelligence skill set.

The multimedia training package is priced at $495 and is currently shipping.
