A new website called Simple Talk (www.simple-talk.com) offers in-depth technical articles and opinion pieces on SQL Server and .NET technologies. The new site is offered as an industry service by Red Gate Software, but does not carry advertising or other forms of commercial sponsorship. Primary contributors are acknowledged experts in their field who have been paid for their writing and have no other affiliation with Red Gate. All articles are peer-reviewed for technical accuracy and edited for readability and consistency.

Visitors to the new site will have access to free downloads of the e-book, Best of SQLServerCentral.com, Vol. 2, a collection of technical articles considered by DBAs and developers to be the best of thousands on the SQLServerCentral.com website.

Content on the Simple Talk site will be updated on a regular basis and rotated monthly, with archives of all past articles. Authors with deep technical knowledge and insightful views on SQL Server or .NET development are encouraged to propose articles by writing to [email protected].
