Why Stop with Databases?

OK, I've written before that DBAs should know more than just DBs. I've just posted a review on an ASP.NET training course that is just excellent. Again, it's by AppDev, and I would personally recommend it to anyone wanting to get into ASP.NET.

Of course, it's not perfect. As with almost any training course, there are some issues. You'll have to go read the actual review to get the specifics. You can find it by going to ITBookworm. Click on 'Videos' on the left.

I honestly believe that DBAs should know far more than just DBs. If any of you have ever supported DBs that were being hit by .Net apps, you'll know what I'm talking about. You almost always end up going through the front end code. Not only that, but you also end up coding your own solutions for managing your servers.

Anyway, I'm in danger of beating a dead horse now, so I'll let it die, but definitely take a look at the review and try to get your company to let you pick up the course. It's really worth it.
