Here are some starters.
Erland Sommerskog's home page links to several other SQL Server MVP Web
sites:
http://www.sommarskog.se/index.html. Neil Pike lists several information sources in the Information section of
his FAQ at:
http://www.mssqlserver.com/faq/, including a link to a page that
lists general SQL Server books.
The SQL Server 2005 Books Online (BOL) is the general reference. It is
available online at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms130214.aspx and you can download a local copy of the latest version of the BOL from
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/downloads/books.mspx. I've never had a chance to look through them, but MS Learning has learning
plans available for SQL Server 2005, although they'll focus primarily on
Microsoft classes, e-classes, and MS Press books. You can get to it from
either My TechNet or My MSDN.
Go to
http://technet.microsoft.com and click on My TechNet in the list of
buttons across the top of the page.
Go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com and click on My MSDN in the list of buttons
across the top of the page.
You will see a My Learning box in the right column, click on Manage My
Learning. In Manage My Learning click on the Learning Catalog tab, then in
the left tree pane navigate to:
Microsoft Learning Catalog
Microsoft Product Categories
Microsoft Windows Server Technologies
Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
The SQL Server 2005 Learning Plans should be at the top of the list in the
right pane.
