Great book by Adam Machanic - Expert SQL Server 2005 Development
Slightly mis-titled, because whilst this is a great resource for experienced SQL Server folks like myself it's also really good for folks with a more modest skillset. The explanations and examples are really good. Both Hugo Kornelis and Lara Rubbelke have contributed to this great resource - I recommend this one to your shelf or hard drive in my case because you can get it as an ebook (http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10220).
Security is my least favourite topic in SQL Server, even the word makes me want to sleep...... what was I saying, I seem'd to drop off then. There is a really good chapter on the new security stuff in 2005. Another great chapter on Trees, Hierarchies and Graphs.
But the topics are more tuned to every day development, the problems we face in the here and now. What ever your level you will find this book useful.
I don't often comment on books because I seldom have time to read, and as my wife would say - there aren't enough pictures in technical books, but this one is worth mentioning.
Tony.
