Here is my DIIGO account and Twitter account if you want to stalk me. *just kidding :P*

I found some excellent Microsoft SQL Server 2008 resources today.

The first one is 'YouTube - Joes2Pros's Channel'. It has pretty much all the topics taught so far in class. It helped me immensely when I was first playing around with the site.

The second one is 'YouTube - Simple SQL Server Database and Table Creation'. This link has the author discussing the most basic concepts of using the software. However, it is an awesome resource for people who have never seen it before.

The last link is 'Microsoft SQL Server Tutorials'. This site has 'lessons' on the left side of the site. They are a tremendous help as they are organized, concise, and has topics ranging from the most basic to topics that are more advanced.
