SQLskills holiday gift to you: all 2014 Insider videos

As we all wind down for the 2015 holiday season, we want to give the SQL Server community a holiday gift to say ‘thank you’ for all your support during 2015, and what better gift than more free content?!

As many of you know, I publish a bi-weekly newsletter to more than 13,000 subscribers that contains an editorial on a SQL Server topic, a demo video, and a book review of my most recently completed book. We’re making all the 2014 demo videos available  so everyone can watch them – 22 videos in all, mostly in WMV format. I did the same thing the last few years for the 2013 videos, 2012 videos, and 2011 videos.
