Books

Many times, many occasions I have been asked about books. Various questions:

  • How to start learning about SQL Server?
  • How to develop current knowledge?
  • How to prepare to (specific) Microsoft’s exams?
  • What is worth to read?

This page has one goal. To collect all interesting books, which I’ve been read, saw or heard about them something valuable. And this is the beginning only. I will be extending the list gradually. Please bear in mind that is my list. You can have different interests, opinions and skills. But if you want to share your books – please do it. Leave a comment or send DM.
