I’m putting together a new series to cover the materials you’ll need to know in order to pass the 70-433. Microsoft’s exam that covers Database Development using Microsoft SQL Server 2008. I’m going to list the topics covered in several posts, each one will include links to details to those topics. If you have any questions, let me know!

Good post and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Gratefulness you seeking your information.
why did you stop with the detailed explanations. i found it very useful and easier to understand then some books
I do have more posts on the 70-433, you’re right though, I need to link these items to articles that relate. I added some links in now. Unfornately I found that there are still many more topics to cover. Are there any specific questions about XML on the 70-433? There are at least 9 topics I found in this article I haven’t covered yet. Is there a particular one you’d like me to cover next?
