I'm halfway through the next book in the MCSA SS 2012 certification path; 70-462 SQL Server 2012 Administrator. Fortunately, I have done quite a bit of what the book discusses already at work when I built a Web App from scratch and also deploying quite a few vendor solutions that run on SQL Server. Kinda cool and I guess in a way better I read the book 'after' I did the practical hands on. Makes more sense when reading as if second-nature; or so I hope. I'll bum rush through the rest of the book and sit for the second exam possibly as early as this coming Friday or next week. However, a lot of this is geared more towards a DBA, which is not my professional goal, but hey better to learn a bit than none at all?
