Hey guys!!
Last Saturday (07/12) I was in Belém do Pará to speak at the Data Tech Day 4 event, the biggest data event in northern Brazil. The event was organized by Willuey Sousa, Renata Cascaes, Sandro Cascaes, Sergio Passos and Cássia Queiroz.

Data Tech Day 4 made history in the North of Brazil, bringing innovation and Microsoft technologies to this region of the country. The event was very well organized and I thought the audience was very interested in the news we were sharing with them. It's a great community that has everything it needs to yield great results.

I would like to thank everyone for their love and the invitation to participate in Data Tech Day 4 and if you are from the North region of Brazil, participate more in this community! They have groups on Whatsapp and Telegram that are great for networking with other professionals and companies, finding out about upcoming events, sending questions and also helping with colleagues' questions.

My Lectures

When Will invited me to be a speaker at this event, I was only going to give one talk (Programming with SQL Server), but due to a speaker who couldn't attend, I ended up preparing another talk (Power BI + Analysis Services – Analyzing large volumes of data) and it was really cool to talk about two subjects that I really like: Programming and Power BI for large companies.

Lecture 1: Programming with SQL Server

In this session, I demonstrated several SQL Server programming features, such as OLE Automation, xp_cmdshell, SQLCLR, handling, importing and exporting Excel, text files, CSV, JSON, XML, Webscraping and API queries.
