Itzik hands over to Dejan Sarka and Herbert Albert

“I’ve been teaching and speaking about T-SQL for more than 25 years now, and I feel it’s time for a break.I’m not scheduling any new classes after 2024.” Itzik announced on social media platform LinkedIn.

Nevertheless, his courses “Advanced T-SQL” and “T-SQL Fundamentals” can still be booked at Lucient. These trainings will be held by Herbert Albert and Dejan Sarka from the Lucient trainer team.

Itzik about his successors: “There are very few people in the world to whom I feel comfortable entrusting the delivery of my T-SQL classes. Herbert Albert and Dejan Sarka are among those few. I know both for decades. They participated in either editing or writing my T-SQL books and have already delivered my classes in the past. They have both extensive training experience, as well as decades-long experience with the subject matter.”
