The MCSA certification is much more rigorous then I had originally thought. I am studying the first book 'Training Kit 70-461 Querying Microsoft SQL Server' and it's packed with info. Taking some time to digest. This will not be easy for me. Although, I've already written and used much of the code discussed for years, the way the book dives into the minute detail humbles me at how poor my code has been. My typical study arrangement...iced coffee,iPad, headphones, pen & paper. Trying to hit up non-Starbucks locations.
