Ready to attend one of my live training classes? Here's what you wanna know:

How do I attend a live class?

On the day/time of your class - ideally a few minutes before - log in and go to the "Watch Live Classes Here" link in this class. During paid private classes, the only folks who will see the live stream are the folks who've paid for the class.

For the best experience while watching live classes, I recommend using wired networks (not WiFi) and at least a 1080p monitor. I'll be sharing my desktop, working through queries and execution plans at full 1080p resolution, and you won't wanna be squinting at a 12" monitor screen as I go.

How do I ask questions during live classes?

During the live classes, join the #BrentOzarUnlimited Slack channel, or read the instructions on how to get in. I only do Q&A over Slack – if you can’t get in there, you won’t be able to ask questions or turn in your homework.

After class finishes, when you have a question about a particular module, leave a comment on the Instant Replay page for that module. I answer those questions within a business day or two.

What do I need to follow along with the demos and labs?

It's totally optional if you want to do this! If you do, set up a database server with the specific training version of the Stack Overflow database using these instructions. This may take a few hours, so get started on it at least a few days before class.

At the end of each class day, you'll have a homework lab that will take 1-2 hours. You can either do it in the afternoon, or the next morning before class.

Can I share my login with someone else?

Only one session can be logged in at a time, so if you share your login with someone else, and they attend class at the same time you do, bam, your login will be disabled for 24 hours. You'd be pretty disappointed, and no, I won't unlock it for you during class. I'm busy teachin'. ;-)
