I decided to expand on this blog to include helpful resources that I have ran across that
- Has helped me along in my career by someone in the SQL Community
- Has been created by myself that has helped me in one form or other
- Has been read in an article or white paper with the appropriate link that was a good read.
Feel free to browse and I will do my best to keep the links active and to separate them out into appropriate categories.
