Agile Data Home Page

The purpose of this site is two-fold. First, to share leading edge techniques for data-related software development issues.

Second, it was a working site for my now award-winning book Agile Database Techniques, and for Refactoring Databases, and I'd love to hear any feedback that you may have as I publish material to this site.
