These are good resources (the windows noob guides got me through most of my deployment). I’d definitely recommend picking up a book on Config Manager as well, the one that I read basically cover to cover before starting our deployment was Mastering System Center 2012 Configuration Manager:
http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-System-Center-Configuration-Manager/dp/1118128982 This is always a great place to learn, and the community built around this product is incredibly welcoming. The only other suggestion I would make is to skip the official MS training class in lieu of something unofficial like TrueSec offers (http://www.truesec.com/Labs). Their instructors typically have a lot more real world experience than the guy at your local training center.

They are partnering with smaller companies and building out SCCM servers for each company (maintaining separation if either party terminates relationship). I was hired based on experience with AD/Exchange and the parent company knows I lack any SCCM experience. With that said, I’ve been searching TechNet and other areas of Microsoft’s site trying to find a definitive guide/article about deploying SCCM 2012 (non-R2). I was turned on to this list by a former coworker and I’m just reaching to see if this group has any recommended starting points to read up on SCCM. Specifically on the deployment side of ConfigMgr. I have no clue what other information would be relevant to this post to give to you (due to my lack of any knowledge of SCCM), so if you need any additional info, I will gladly answer as I am here to kindly ask for a little “start here” arrow in the right direction.
