MF_James posted:What would be a handy book to pickup for SQL, does anyone know of any decent authors? pretty much a novice with relational DBs and SQL, I know some sql from dicking around, it's fairly easy to understand at a base level, but I'd like a deeper understanding of how relational DBs and SQL work. Benjamin Nevarrez's stuff is pretty good for the more theoretic/academic side. Kalen Delaney and Kim Tripp for more practical data management, organization, and query writing/tuning. They each have several books and go way into depth on a handful of topics rather than cover the breadth because the breadth is huge. The more theoretic you're dealing with, the more relevant older versions can be -- something like cost-based optimizing and stats has only had a couple specific changes in the last 20 years.

Volunteer with their local ACM chapter or organize and lead meetings of a <whatever> Users Group in the computer science building. Give them a reason to pick your resume out of the stack of 100 that comes in. This. If you're targeting a specific uni, then it is almost 100% down to schmoozing. Get on good terms with someone who matters in the hierarchy and they'll create a place for you if it doesn't exist already.

incoherent posted:Yeah if you don't have your fingers in IIS, SQL, and windows server you'll have quite an uphill battle. I could see how people could "just" be exchange and SQL admins but sharepoint just points shotgun at its head and splatters itself across all microsoft technologies. If you're going to spend the time to learn sharepoint, you're already going to learn Windows Server so you should commit yourself to the full MCSE package. There's a huge consulting market to fix the things done by people who are "just" DB admins and ignore the platform it runs on. Clustering is an especially rabid beast for that, and MS is only going to keep pushing Availability Groups harder and harder in the future since it hooks nicely into their cloud services.
