As shocking as this may be, not every team has a dedicated database administrator. Like many developers, I have had to learn difficult lessons about database design the hard way when under a lot of pressure to get something that's broken fixed. In this session, we will go over how to normalize our database, how to use indexes to improve our performance and discuss using constraints to make sure that the data entered into our database follows our business rules.

Fantastic talk for developer who have little to no knowledge of DB Design. Scott is very clear, has good pacing, and the personal aspect of "why" was a nice touch that allowed me to get more honed in so that I don't make the same mistakes in my workplace!
Scott does a great job presenting the material. Normal forms and database design aren't something people spend much time on. This was a good refresher for me.
Great talk. I appreciated the clear explanations and visual examples as well as the on section on normalization.
