将您的技能更新为SQL Server 2012

作为一名教练，我可以预测新课程以验证材料的准确性，也开始准备将来教导课程。我总是参加CTP / Beta程序，以便在技术上了解新版本随着时间的推移，因为微软释放更多位，我将它们测试出来。经过最新培训的一个副产品是您为认证考试准备好了。你也可以这样做。让我们来看看。微软通常发布与认证考试“技能”或我称之为“技能目标”的课程。这些技能是您需要掌握的才能称为自己，例如MCSA：SQL Server 2012（关联）或更好，一个MCSE：数据平台（专家）。一组MVP（最有价值的专业人士）已识别的技能，以概述DBA工作所需的技能。为了证明这些技能，微软喜欢向我们询问与这些技能有关的问题。如果我们得到答案权，微软假设我们确实有这些技能。 (A BIG assumption as I outline here in another [url=//m.amiribrahem.com/community/node/59422]blog entry[/url]). Since I am already an MCITP for SQL Server 2008, all I had to do was pass three exams to promote myself to the new MCSA and MCSE for SQL Server 2012. That's three times as many exams as I had to pass in order to upgrade my MCITP from SQL Server 2005 to 2008, but still, we have to follow the rules. Looking for some practice tests or preparation materials proved unfruitful. Most of the official SQL Server 2012 courses cover the foundation skills of SQL Server with a sprinkling of new features which is great for someone starting out but not me. What I needed was a highly concentrated view on the new features only. I already have the foundation skills down. We found the answer with two new courses from Microsoft that we have now combined into one five-day class called "[url=http://www.globalknowledge.com/training/course.asp?pageid=9&courseid=17780&methodid=v]Updating your Database and Business Intelligence Skills to Microsoft SQL Server 2012[/url]". The objectives of these courses align themselves very nicely with the MCSA/MCSE Upgrade exams. We have released this on the Virtual Classroom e-Learning (VCeL) platform first with more sessions in our Training Centers later. The nice thing about the VCeL is that you have access to the lab machines for 6 months after the class is over so you can practice for your skills. What is tricky, is that the Upgrade exams for the MCSA: SQL Server 2012 include skills in Data Warehousing and SSIS which traditionally have fallen exclusively under the Business Intelligence exams. Well, no more. So we need the BI stuff just to get through the second of the three exams, even if we are only going for the Data Platform cert. Then the third exam focuses on Data Platform Skills to prove you are an expert. If you then move on to the MCSE: Business Intelligence upgrade exam you will be asked to prove your skills with the new version of SSAS and SSRS. All I can say, is take this single combo-course and you will be in good shape to pass all the upgrade exams. I am not giving you inside-information here, it's just that Microsoft likes to align their courses with their exams and that's what they have done again. All the Skill Objectives are published under the Microsoft Learning website. Just drill down on the certification of your choice to see the exams then click on the "Skills Measured" tab to see the Skill Objectives. Then study up on those features or just come and see us for five days of concentrated learning and you will be all set. See you online soon! cheers Brian Updating your Database and Business Intelligence Skills to Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (M40008, M40009) http://www.globalknowledge.com/training/course.asp?pageid=9&courseid=17780&methodid=v MCSA: SQL Server 2012 http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-sql-server-mcsa.aspx MCSE: Data Platform http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-sql-server-data-platform.aspx MCSE: Business Intelligence http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-sql-server-business-intelligence.aspx
