I have no college degree, and my last cert was MCP - 1994, 4 tests towards MCSE, which I never finished. I hear you about OJT. I can't remember how I found the 1st edition of the Limonchelli book, but I read it twice a few years ago, and when I found the second edition I bought 4 copies - one for myself, which I'm marking up bunches, and three for my junior staff. I'm going to work through a cahpter per month, during our Friday afternoon staff meetings. > I think Server 2008 has enough changes that I should certainly attend some > training on that, I get the feel my company will miss out on the advantages > unless someone knows it real well and points it out..
