If you're not up on generic SQL, start there - no sense in learning bad
habits out of the gate. ;^)
After that I must say I've never felt that I needed anything more than MS
provides. The "Books Online" are actually quite good and the online
documentation (the MSDN library) is excellent as well. Really good stuff.
In general however I've been a big fan of O'Reilly's "NutShell" books for
reference and "Head First" books for new learning... too bad they don't have
any for SQL Server! They do have both for generic SQL tho (and both are
great). ;^)
I've used (but never owned or fully read) the book by Bill Hamilton
("Programming SQL Server 2005") and liked it a lot - O'Reilly books are
generally high quality and I've never really found much to complain about.
