Jon Reade

Jon Reade built his first computer from components aged 11 and has enjoyed discovering new things about SQL Server since 1996. He lives near Bristol, England and has worked as a SQL Server developer, Production SQL Server DBA, and DBA team manager. He enjoys photography, walking and learning new things and is currently thinking about what to write in his next SQL Server book. Jon says:

"This, my first book, which I co-authored with Rachel Clements, is the book I always wanted to buy as a DBA and developer, but could never find. I wanted something that got quickly to the point, covered just the new features in a new release of SQL Server, but without buying 600 pages of extra heavy padding about things I already knew*. Hope you enjoy it!"
