As I posted earlier, I am relatively new to TSQL. I have been given a few books:
O'Reilly SQL on SQL Server 2005
O'Reilly SQL in a Nutshell
Mastering SQL Server 2005 - Sybex
Beginning SQL Server 2005 Programming - Wrox

I have a copy of SQL2005 Developers Edition on a development server. So I think I have some decent tools at my disposal.

I was wondering if there are any other sites or forums that might be suggested for learning SQL programming? Right now, I am just making stuff up and following examples in books, etc. I would like to find a site where there are beginner level projects for no other purpose than educational. Something where I can get more hands on of the design and programming aspects. Just to practice.

Thanks,
grinch

Classroom training is a great idea and one that I have already started. My employer pays for courses. Don't know that it exists but I am looking for a site where I can get beginner level projects for no other purpose than educational. Something where I can get more hands on of the design and programming aspects. Just for practice. The examples in the books are pretty much spelled out for you. I want something where I am kind of given the design specs and can practice. Again, may not exist. Just asking.

Thanks for those links. I have used those and have them bookmarked.
