VB Script Skills for SQL 2005 - need class recommendations

    Time to upgrade the skills, we have been 2000 DBA's for 5+ years, and we know that with SQL 2005 vbscript and other skills are going to be needed.  I have dabbled a little with vbscript in other apps, the other person in my dept has almost no exposure as they came from DB2 mainframe.  What classes or CBT's do you recommend?  Other resources you found useful?  Any CBT's or classes to avoid that weren't helpful?  All responses appreciated.  Thanks!

    May want to look into VB.Net if you're going to code with the CLR and/or SSIS. For the rest, it depends on what you need to do. There are several books that will give you a good overview of VBScript, but without knowing your goal, it's hard to recommend something that goes deeper.

    I'd probably start with some of the books - you should even be able to get slightly older VBScript books relatively cheap. They'll still have information relative to your coding. Check O'Reilly or Wrox to get started - they generally have good books.
