Book Review: Murach's SQL Server 2008 For Developers
I received a review copy of Murach's SQL Server 2008 For Developers a couple months back and just finished up looking through it. In general I've always liked the style of the Murach books; short lessons that flow about as logically as you can do it when it often seems like you need to know it all to get anything done!
