Community Question: Fastest update path for experienced SQL Server 2000 developers.

Hi,
I have several years of experience working on SQL server versions 7-2000.
Now I would like to update my knowledge to SQL Server 2005. The problem is
that most of books I saw try to explain old SQL 2000 features mixed with new
SQL 2005 features.
Could you refer me to books or resources that update my SQL Server knowledge
without bothering with explaining old SQL 2000 related features?
Any help would be appreciated,
MaxHello Maxwell2006,
If you like books, go with http://www.aw-bc.com/catalog/academ...1382188,00.html
(when it comes out)
If you like class room training, come spend a w with me... ;)
Thank you,

Hi Max,
I'm in the exact same situation. I've recently (last w) picked up a
copy of "Pro SQL Server 2005" (by Thomas Rizzo et. al.) It does exactly
what you and I want: skip past everything that was already present in
SQL Server 2005 and plunge right into the new features.
First impressions are good, though I should hasten to add that I'm only
halfway chapter 2 yet.

wasn't sure I should go ahead or not. Now I am going to order it with
confident.
Thanks again,
Max
