Implement Security for Azure SQL Databases

Speaker: Joseph Ogbenna Topic: Mastering SQL Window Functions Abstract: Most SQL users are comfortable with `GROUP BY`, `SUM()`, and `COUNT()`, but many business questions require more advanced analytical techniques. How do you rank top-performing products within each category? Calculate running sales totals without losing transaction-level detail? Compare a customer's current purchase to their previous one? Identify sales trends, customer inactivity, or consecutive periods of growth? In this practical and hands-on webinar, participants will learn how to use SQL Window Functions in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to perform advanced analytical calculations that go beyond traditional aggregations. Through realistic sales, customer, and product data scenarios, we will explore powerful functions such as `ROWNUMBER()`, `RANK()`, `DENSERANK()`, `LAG()`, `LEAD()`, and windowed aggregates to solve real business problems. By the end of the session, attendees will be able to write more efficient analytical queries, generate deeper insights from data, and apply modern SQL techniques commonly used by experienced data analysts and business intelligence professionals. Profile: Joseph Ogbenna is a specialized data analyst and analytics trainer who focuses on customer intelligence and business performance. With a technical background in SQL, Power BI, and Python, Joseph is an expert at transforming complex data into clear, actionable insights. He is known for his ability to simplify high-level analytical concepts for professionals of all skill levels. In this live session, Joseph will demonstrate how to bridge the gap between traditional spreadsheets and the future of work by integrating AI Copilot into your daily Excel workflow.

Start your Friday morning after Moonshot with breakfast, honest conversation, and 50 founders building across Africa. Founders Breakfast returns for its second edition, hosted by Seye Bandele, with two fireside conversations about building through difficult conditions and preparing for what comes next. First, Foluso Ogunwale, Founder & CEO of iFitness, joins Seye for “Scaling in a Market That Fights You Back.” We’ll explore what it takes to build physical scale in Nigeria: financing expansion, navigating infrastructure challenges, finding talent, and keeping operations running when every input works against you. Then, Samson "The Oracle" Esemuede, Chief Investment Officer at Zrosk IML, sits down for “Positioning for 2027, Before the Market Moves.” This conversation looks ahead at Nigerian finance and trade, the shifts founders should be watching, and how to prepare their businesses before those changes arrive. Each conversation includes an open Q&A. Bring the questions you rarely get to ask, the challenges you’re working through, and a willingness to share what you’re learning. No slides or pitch decks—just breakfast and candid discussion with people who understand the work of building. We’re keeping the room small: 50 seed-to-pre-Series A founders, gathering in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Friday, 30 October 2026, from 10:30 AM to 12:35 PM WAT. Attendance is by invitation only. Venue details will be shared with confirmed guests.

An afternoon of making, together. Bring a project you're working on (electronics, prints, crafts, code) and spend the afternoon on it alongside fellow makers. Use our tools, get a hand if you need one, or just settle in and work. Snacks, music and small materials are on us. Good work rarely happens alone. What's in the workshop Digital fabrication: Bambu Lab P2S 3D printer with AMS (multi-colour printing) Electronics: soldering irons, digital multimeter, components (resistors, LEDs, jumper wires and more), and Arduino, Raspberry Pi and ESP32 boards for prototyping in the space Hand tools: screwdrivers, hammer, drill, small angle grinder, calipers, bottle cutter and more Materials: cement and moulds, clay, wood, XPS foam, glass bottles and jars Basics: worktables, power and Wi-Fi Good to know Open Lab is for working on your own project. It isn't a class. Each person gets ₦20,000 of materials free, covering 3D printing filament and components you take home. Anything beyond that is at cost on the day. Boards are for prototyping in the space and stay with us. Printer time is shared, so long prints may be queued. Tools are used after a quick safety briefing from staff, with the right protective gear. Space is limited, so we review each registration. We'll confirm your spot by WhatsApp the day before.

Base Builders Meet: Contributing to the Global Economy A gathering of builders, founders, and innovators building on Base. Join us at UNILAG, Lagos, for conversations, connections, and ideas around building, shipping, and getting real users for onchain products. BUILD → SHIP → GET USERS 30 builders. One room. New opportunities to build together.
