If you talk to Sarah (twitter), she’ll tell you that I like lists.  Lists are awesome – they are almost like non-structured data.  They are hierarchies of information that I can work with.  They are Data.

Microsoft must have known I liked lists because over the weekend I discovered (see below) their SQL Server Best Practice Whitepapers list.

If you are looking to shore up your environment and skills, this is the place to start.  Check it out – you’ll find some great stuff here.

UPDATE:

By discover above… I should have mentioned that I saw it on a post by Mark Broadbent (blog | twitter).  Attribution is always a good thing and I feel bad that I missed that one.
