In March 2019, I was pleased to have some articles published on iMasters, one of the oldest and largest development portals in Brazil. It is really a great honor and satisfaction to be part of this portal, which only gathers professional references in their respective areas.

Also this month, I participated in the organization of 11th Meetup of the local PASS group “SQL Server ES”, where I gave the lecture “Security in SQL Server - Are you leaving the key under the carpet?”, which was a preview of what was shown at the MVPConf Latin America 2019 event and the speaker Tiago Neves presented the lecture “Starting a tuning job” , which was a preview of what he presented at the event SQL Saturday # 819 Brasília

It was also this month that we inaugurated the #TeamFabricioLima online training platform, a subject that I kept “hammering” in Fabrício's head until I decided to put this project to work. The first course available was from Tuning master Fabiano Amorim, the biggest name in Tuning in Brazil and one of the biggest in the WORLD.

In March, I wrote the article General Personal Data Protection Act (LGPDP or LGPD) applied to SQL Server databases and participated in two lives:

April

Another month that I like a lot is April. Month of the birthday of one of the people I love most in life, which is my daughter Letícia. In terms of contribution, it was a very weak month for me, where my only two contributions were speaking at the Global Azure Bootcamp 2019 - Vitória and at MVPConf, the largest Microsoft expert event in the world.

This month I launched my first training on the #TeamFabricioLima online platform, which is the Security in SQL Server - Module 1, and I had over 120 students in this module alone 1.

May

Month of my birthday, May was an excellent month. I traveled to Belo Horizonte and Fortaleza for lectures .. I wrote articles, posted videos .. I will explain in more detail below.

On May 11, I had the honor of participating in the organization of the 12th SQL Server ES Meetingwhere we had Power BI talks with MVP Ruy Lacerda and MCSE Thais Mafra.

I participated in a live to DevelopersBR channelwhere I was able to explain in detail various aspects of SQL Server security.

Lecture on SQL Saturday # 844 - Belo Horizonte, with the theme “Security in SQL Server: Are you leaving the key under the rug?”, where I demonstrated the various security risks and loopholes that we may have in our daily lives and we didn't even notice, with some practical examples of this.

On May 17th, I participated in a Live at Canal Planilheiros, the largest Power BI channel in the world, where we officialized my entry in the Planilheiros team, along with Rafael Mendonça. From this moment on, we become part of the channel and posting videos as well.

It was a very sad month here at home because of this and until today, the record has not yet dropped .. 🙁

On September 30th, I participated in the live "Programming with SQL Server - Integrations with files, XML, JSON, APIs and Excel", For DotNET channel.

October

The month of October was an atypical month .. It was the first month since 2014 that I didn't make any blog posts. However, content production cannot stop .. rs

Last month of the year, month when people usually slow down, right? Well, with me it was the opposite .. December I was able to produce a lot of content to share with you!

On December 07th, I went to Belém do Pará to speak at “Data Tech Day 4”, organized by Wiluey Sousa and other members of SQL North. It was an epic event and very well organized, where I had the pleasure of giving 2 lectures:

  • Programming with SQL Server
  • Power BI + Analysis Services - Analyzing Big Data

On December 12 and 13, I was in São Paulo, to participate in Microsoft Ignite - The Tour, an official Microsoft event on new technologies and tools that are coming to the market, where I was able to do a lot of networking

On the 13th, after Ignite, MVP's from all over Brazil were invited to a Happy Hour at XP Investimentos' headquarters. It was really cool to see friends again and talk about business, community, technical tips and also, about life beyond IT and work .. lol

On December 14, MVP's were again invited to go to Microsoft headquarters to participate in an event focused on communities, innovation and technology. We watched incredible talks with the leader of the innovation area at XP Investimentos and also at Tania Cosentino, president of Microsoft Brazil, among other talks organized by other MVP's.

On December 19th, I participated in the Organization of “14th PASS Local Group SQL Server ES Meetup”, where I also spoke about “Power BI + Analysis Services - Analyzing big data”, together with my friend and teammate, Leandro Lima.
