The Agenda

Business Intelligence Markup Language (Biml) automates your BI patterns and eliminates the manual repetition that consumes most of your SQL, SSIS, and SSAS development time. In this session, Scott Currie (the creator of Biml) and Biml Heroes Andy Leonard and Cathrine Wilhelmsen will guide you through learning Biml - from installing free Biml tools to creating advanced Biml automation solutions. The session will be largely demonstration driven, and reusable sample code will be distributed for you to use in your own projects. Best practices will also be a major focus of the session, so even Biml enthusiasts may enjoy the session as a refresher.
