This book pretty much covered everything I needed. I fully recommend it to anyone needing an update on their SQL Server administration and development skills.
Very useful information about new features in SQL Server 2008 and how to manage it using Windows PowerShell. The chapter on Monitoring SQL Server (Chapter 18) was pure gold and extremely useful. It covered monitoring blockings, deadlocks, and windows event logs which are essential to ensure the stability of SQL Server environment, and they get right to the point. Another beauty is Chapter 14, covered SQL Server standards, development standards, Database Design standards and best practices, Data protection standards, production standards, and Windows PowerShell coding standards, and those are milestones for DBAs.
This is an excellent reference book, and I strongly recommend it.
