The SSDT way or the highway (sqlproj)
So you have heard of SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), you have started using it but not entirely sure how to use it to it's full potential. This session is perfect for adopters of SSDT and how to get the most out of it.
Join me in this session where I share real world experiences on how I've been using SSDT. This session will show you how to go about building and deploying your databases locally, checking for anomalies within the generated scripts and what you can do to avoid these. I'll also show you how to use the Managed API for those pesky edge cases.
