Yet Another SQL Server 2008 Question

[Roger Wright]

I'm on a roll here, so bear with me. I haven't used it before, and want to learn it quickly. I particularly want to use it with C# applications for tracking equipment and service records for work. I also happen to have a few bucks available and I'm in the mood to buy myself a Christmas present. A book would be nice, particularly a book that covers programming for SQL Server 2008 in C#, and which will also teach me about n-tier development - breaking the task into logical units for data access, business rules, and user interfaces. I tend to get them all muddled together in one mess, and you know what that leads to... another project I never finished. I'd like to be done with that, once and for all. Any favorites?

I just happen to have this handy that may be of interest [edit] As Shameel pointed out these may be illegal books and I respect and appreciate the work put in by authors to encourage theft. [/edit]

CP is a place for ethical programmers. Do not post links to illegal free ebooks :thumbsdown:

I did not even look into the details, I got the link right here and thought they were teaser type books, thanks for the heads up. I agree with you and the authors put in way too much effort for me to devalue their work by encouraging theft.

I appreciate your conern, and agree with you about IP theft colpletely, but if you couls at least post the title, I might be able to actually buy it. :-D

Great! That's a good start, I think, although I don't plan to use web access yet - just a dedicated C# client accessing a central SQL server in the office. My whole plan is to make this equipment tracking job so simple I can hand it off to someone else. :-D
