This is just a short post for a Friday. There has been a lot written over the past few weeks since the PASS summit about changes to the Microsoft Certified Master (MCM) programme. As part of that announcement several very useful resources were made available, an series of MCM readiness video list, put together by the good people over at sqlskills.com which can be found here:

There is also a very good reading list which can be found here:

This is a post my own future reference, I would recommend that if you are seriously considering taking the re-vamped MCM, or even if you are not but want a more detailed knowledge of SQL Server, then check out these resources.
