SQL Server 2012 CTP Resources

The Community Technology Preview (CTP) of SQL Server 2012 (formerly code-named “Denali”), has been available for download for only three weeks and there’s already quite a bit of in-depth information out there regarding specific features. SQL Server Magazine authors Michael Otey, Itzik Ben-Gan, Derek Comingore, and Michael K. Campbell have covered some of the new features on our website, but there are other great resources out there from Brent Ozar, Aaron Bertrand, MSDN, and others. Below are some of the excellent Denali-related blog posts and articles that I’ve come across since the CTP was released.
