A early look at the "SQL Server 2012 Early Adoption Cook Book" (Think "Work in progress")

TechNet Wiki - SQL Server 2012 Early Adoption Cook Book

"Microsoft creates a lot of content designed to drive early adoption for new releases of SQL Server. We use this as a tool to arm trainers, consultants and evangelists with the content they need to introduce developers and IT Professionals alike to key improvements in a new release so they can help us drive adoption. We don't always do a good job of communicating what all of these content assets are.
This wiki is intended to serve as a master index of some great SQL Server 2012 early adoption content being created by Microsoft. Rather than announcing new bits of content on various blogs, we will simply update this wiki so there is one place to find all the latest information about early adoption content assets. We hope you find this wiki useful, thanks for your interest in driving early adoption of SQL Server 2012!

Sincerely,
The Microsoft Data Platform Evangelism Team (sqldevx@microsoft.com)

This is a early look (i.e. Some of the referenced articles are live, some are placeholders....) at this resource, one that will hopefully grow and flesh out over time.
