#SQLRadar

SQLRadar stands as a aggregation of data resources (blogs, datasets, events, books)

  Blog Posts * * * *
  Starred * * *
  Following * * * *

Last years I have been consulting on business intelligence field, with a technological focus in SQL Server, below are some of useful resources I use more

  SQL Server Magazine * * *
  TDWI Best Practices * * * *
  SQLSkills Insider * * * *
  SQL Server Learning Center * * *
  SQL Server channel9 * * *
  Pragmatic Works Training * * * *

One of the biggest issues is where to get datasets to develop, prototype or just to play around, so keep this list of data sources under surveillance

  Azure Marketplace * * * *

  Open Knowledge * * *
  Infochimps * * *
  Google Public Data * * *
  Freebase * * *
  Europe Public Data * * * *

  Portugal Open Data * * * *
  United Nations * * *

Events involving enterprises/developers aroud data topics (transform, visualization)

  SQLPort PASS 2011 * * *
  SQLBITS 9 2011 * * *
  24 Hours Of PASS 2011 * * * * *
  PASS Sumit 2011 * * * * *

Nothing can replace a good book as learning tool, so if you can free some time to sit relax and read this is my personal recommendations for your library

  SQL Server MVP Deep Dives Vol 1 * * * * *
  SQL Server MVP Deep Dives Vol 2 * * * * *
  Expert Cube Development With SSAS 2008 * * * *
  PowerPivot For Excel 2010 * * * *
  MDX With Microsoft SSAS 2008 R2 * * * *

  MDX Solutions: With SSAS 2005 * * *
  The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit * * * *

Developer bookmarks, they go from corporate to community portals including several personal blogs (feel free to make suggestions)

  BeyeNetwork * * * * *

  AnalyticBridge * * *
  Visualising Data * * *
  Flowing Data * * * *

SQL Server solution resources selection (since this is my main focus at the moment)

  SQLCAT * * * *
  Performance Point * * *

Note that both resources or star ratings are likely to be added, deleted, updated often since for me this project is a developer tool
