I attended the SQL intersection conference in November 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada.  I am including my notes from the sessions in this blog, primarily for my own reference later.  For anyone that comes across these notes, please take them with a grain of salt – I may very easily have misheard something or have written it down incorrectly.

This is one of two development session I attended.
