A book, a pre-conference training session, and a webinar - oh my! The Book Over the past two years, I have been lucky enough to work with some of the great SSIS-gurus, Andy Leonard , Matt Masson , Tim Mitchell , and Michelle Ufford , on a book project that has finally been realized.  I am pleased to announce the publication of SQL Server 2012 Integration Services Design Patterns ( amazon | apress ).  Thank you to everyone who helped with the writing, editing, and reviewing of the book.
