>February 17, 2009
>
>SQL Server is now in its second decade as a leading OLAP database and
>development platform. Beginning with SQL Server 7's OLAP Services
>product and continuing today with SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services,
>Microsoft has steadily grown its market share and built up its full
>Business Intelligence stack with SQL Server OLAP as the foundation.
>
>While SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services represented a complete re-
>write of the SQL Server 2000 version, SQL Server 2008 has added more
>subtle, yet important, improvements to its predecessor. These include
>dynamic Best Practice Alerts, streamlined wizards, a new designer for
>dimensional attribute relationships and the ability to design
>aggregations or modify those generated by Analysis Services' wizards.
>
>In this Webcast, Andrew Brust – twentysix New York's chief of new
>technology and a lead author of the Microsoft Press
>book, "Programming Microsoft SQL Server 2008" – will discuss these
>new features and show several of them in action. He'll also review
>some of the underlying features first introduced in SQL Server
>Analysis Services 2005. And to show true end-to-end scenarios, we'll
>see how to query cubes from Excel 2007. Whether you're new to OLAP or
>a seasoned pro, this Webcast will get you ready to build, refine and
>query Analysis Services cubes in SQL Server 2008.
