Stéphane Faroult

Stéphane Faroult is a database consultant, who has helped big companies with database performance issues for more than 25 years. He shared his experience in three SQL books, "The Art of SQL" (O'Reilly), "SQL Refactoring" (O'Reilly) and "SQL Success" (RoughSea). Communication wasn't limited to books, as he also spoke at conferences in Europe and in the US, gave seminars in Asia and Europe, and posted video tutorials on YouTube. His pleasure at sharing technical knowledge led more recently to a new career as a college instructor, and he has taught (so far) in colleges in France, in Canada, in the US and currently in China. Teaching resulted in hard work on presentations, and his latest book "Getting the Message Across" (Apress) demonstrates through examples how to prepare PowerPoint presentations that don’t look like PowerPoint presentations.
