SSRS 2012? SSAS 2012? There’s no substitute for getting your hands on the product, in my opinion.</p> <p>I can hear you thinking, “But Andy, I can’t afford to purchase a copy of SQL Server 2012.” Are you sure? What if I told you that you can get a full-feature version of SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition for $50? Well, you cannot… it’s actually less than $50! <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/SQL-Server-Developer-Edition-2012/dp/B007RFXQAM/">SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition is available at Amazon</a> on the day of this writing for $41.24USD. That’s about the price of eight cups of fancy coffee.</p> <p>SQL Server releases follow a cycle. SQL Server 2005 was a major release with big changes from SQL Server 2000. SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 were not drastic departures from SQL Server 2005. Take it from me: SQL Server 2012 is a major release. </p> <p>Is taking your career to the next level worth the price of eight cups of coffee?</p> <p>:{&gt;</p>
