good info, but a sad presentation. Talk to us, don't present it. Elaborate on the examples.

Some good information, however defining a dimension table as a table that holds dimension data is not a very informative definition! I have to agree with the other posters, the tone of the presenter's voice and flow of the presentation are all wrong. It was a struggle to continue watching because the presenter's tone made it sound like he wasn't excited to be presenting and in turn, I was no longer exceited to listen. I would like to see a different set of data warehouse presentations presented by someone with more presentation experience who has more energy and does not read the presentation to us off of another document (as it sounded like this guy did).

The presenter could actually sound enthusiastic about the lesson and the subject matter, it's makes a lot of difference in how much is absorbed and how well. I do still appreciate them taking the time to do it regardless.
