Friends of red-gate

12 Mar, 2007  software

I recently was accepted into the Friends of Red Gate program from red-gate software. red-gate makes some unbelievably useful tools for Sql Server/.Net development, my favorite (so far) being the Sql Compare tool that compares two databases and generates a change script to synchronize them in either direction, very nice.

When I joined the program, they asked for my address so they could send me a “welcome kit.” I was expecting the usual propaganda about red-gate, their products, etc. About a week later I got the kit, and I was shocked. The contents included:

  • red-gate t-shirt
  • red-gate coffee mug
  • red-gate 256MB usb drive

By far the best “welcome kit” I’ve ever gotten, and certainly better than the MCSD certification “welcome kit” that MS sends out :) The best part is that people would be happy enough just to get  licenses of red-gate software as part of the program, but they go the extra mile and send you some cool, useful stuff.
