The first half of 2026 is packed with live, instructor-led online trainings designed for professionals who want to go deeper – not just collect features, but truly understand how things work and how to use them effectively in production.

Whether you are a SQL Server professional, expanding into PostgreSQL, Linux, automation, or even systems programming with Rust, this training lineup is built to help you grow with confidence and clarity.

All sessions are live, hands-on, and focused on real-world scenarios – with plenty of room for questions, discussion, and practical insights you can apply immediately.

SQL Server Query Tuning Fundamentals

📅 February 9, 2026 · 1 Day (Live Online)

Execution plans are the key to SQL Server performance – but only if you truly understand them.

This training is all about building a systematic approach to query tuning. Instead of guessing or trial-and-error, you’ll learn how SQL Server actually accesses data, how the query optimizer thinks, and how to translate execution plans into concrete tuning actions.

You will learn:

• Data access & index fundamentals
• Execution plans made practical and readable
• Core query operators explained clearly
• Advanced performance pitfalls seen in real systems

Perfect if you know SQL Server – but want to become truly dangerous with performance tuning.

SQL Server 2025 Unleashed: AI, Performance & Beyond

📅 March 9, 2026 · 1 Day (Live Online)

SQL Server 2025 is more than just another version – it introduces meaningful advances in AI integration, performance, and high availability.

In this session, we focus on what actually matters in practice: which features are relevant, how they work internally, and when they make sense to use.

You will learn:

• AI features & vector search use cases
• Performance improvements and optimizer enhancements
• Intelligent Query Processing updates
• TempDB improvements
• High availability & disaster recovery enhancements

Ideal for DBAs and developers who want to stay ahead – without the marketing fluff.

PostgreSQL for the SQL Server Professional

📅 April 20 – 21, 2026 · 2 Days (Live Online)

PostgreSQL is not “SQL Server with different syntax” – and treating it that way leads to frustration and poor performance.

This training is specifically designed for experienced SQL Server professionals who want to understand PostgreSQL on its own terms – while leveraging their existing knowledge.

You will learn:

• PostgreSQL architecture & internals
• PostgreSQL vs. SQL Server (conceptual and practical differences)
• Query plans and execution strategies
• Data access methods & indexing
• MVCC and transaction handling
• Write-Ahead Logging (WAL)
• High availability & disaster recovery concepts

If PostgreSQL is becoming part of your future, this training shortens the learning curve dramatically.

Linux Fundamentals for the Windows Professional

📅 May 18, 2026 · 1 Day (Live Online)

Moving from Windows to Linux doesn’t mean starting over – but it does require a new mental model.

This training focuses on how Linux really works in production environments, explained from a Windows professional’s perspective – clear, structured, and practical.

You will learn:

• The Linux mindset and design philosophy
• Filesystems, users, permissions, and security
• Software installation and package management
• CPU, memory, and disk I/O fundamentals
• Performance analysis and troubleshooting
• Proven best practices for Linux systems

A fast, confidence-building entry into Linux for real-world environments.

Database Infrastructure Automation with Terraform & Ansible

📅 June 22 – 23, 2026 · 2 Days (Live Online)

Manual setups don’t scale. Automation does.

This training shows you how to build reproducible, enterprise-grade database environments – from infrastructure provisioning to fully configured SQL Server and PostgreSQL systems.

You will learn:

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles
• Terraform vs. Ansible – when to use which
• VM provisioning (on-premises & cloud)
• Automated OS installations
• Ansible fundamentals
• Automated Active Directory setups
• Database installation & configuration workflows

Essential for DBAs and infrastructure engineers who want reliability, speed, and consistency.

Mastering Memory Safety & Performance with Rust

📅 June 25, 2026 · 1 Day (Live Online)

The Rust programming language offers something rare: low-level control with high-level safety.

In this one-day training, you’ll understand why Rust’s ownership model works, how it prevents entire classes of bugs at compile time, and how you can write fast, predictable, and safe code – without a garbage collector.

You will learn:

• Memory safety without GC
• Ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes – demystified
• Zero-cost abstractions and performance predictability
• Compile-time detection of data races
• Rust’s powerful tooling ecosystem
