SQL Server TechCenter
The SQL Server TechNet site has been republished as a TechCenter. Just as MSDN DevCenters focus on information for developers, TechCenters focus on information for IT professionals such as DBAs. The site layout of the SQL Server TechCenter is similar to those already published for Exchange and Windows Server 2003. The TechCenters will evolve over time to incorporate customer feedback and deliver new information as it is published.
One requirement for TechCenters is to organize their content into 8 content areas, such as Getting Started and Operations. SQL Server customers often work in one technology at a time (Database Engine, Analysis Services, DTS, etc.) and want to focus on content for that technology. The SQL Server TechCenter uses a technique from the Windows Server TechCenter to support both navigation paths:
Browse by Task
Has one navigation page for each content area, with links to Web content relevant to IT professionals performing those types of tasks. To support technologies, the sets of links on each task navigation page are organized by technology. There is also a Technical Library fly-out in the left-hand column that provides links to the Browse by Task pages.
Browse by Technology
Has one navigation page for each technology, with links to Web content relevant to that technology. To support the content areas, the sets of links on each task navigation page are organized by task. There is also a Technologies fly-out in the left-hand column that provides links to the Browse by Technology pages.
The new TechCenter should improve your ability to find IT professional information for SQL Server. The new navigation pages will, for the first time, give IT professionals a set of links to all the major SQL Server content on the Web, including links to the relevant major nodes in the copy of the SQL Server Books Online in the MSDN Library.
