MICROSOFT SQL SERVER BLOGS and WEBLOGS

Bill Ramos (SQL Tools) WebLog - My name is Bill Ramos and I'm a Lead Program Manager with the SQL Server 2005 Tools team. This is the team that brings you the SQL Server Management Studio, Profiler, etc. I've worked at Microsoft for the last 9 years on the Visual Studio Data Tools, Visual Basic, Microsoft Access and Excel, and now SQL Server. As a Program Manager, I'm currently responsible for the SQL Server Management Studio UI, Profiler, Database Tuning Advisor, and Express Manager. Some of my other interests include Project Management and Agile Development techniques, so I may digress every now and then on non-SQL Server topics.
