As I noted in a previous entry, I’m going to be upgrading my SQL Server knowledge with the best minds in the business, in early 2012.

To prepare myself for this training, I’m planning on going through the 40+ hours of videos that are provided for MCM training, as well as two of the required books:

– Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Internals (Amazon)
– SQL Server 2008 Query Performance Tuning Distilled (Amazon)

I’ll document my progress on this blog (if I remember), because Shaun asked me to and he’s in South Africa and I’m not. I’m thinking of tagging my entries as “SQL Prep” or something similar.
