Microsoft has 2 big umbrellas for products - MSDN for Developers and TechNet for IT Pros. SQL Server is unique within MSFT because it can fall under each umbrella. TechNet focuses on the DBA side of SQL Server quite abit with performance tuning and manageability type of materials. MSDN focuses on the Database Developers with coding and Dev Tools. This positioning also leaves SQL Server out in the cold at times because one umbrella may think that the other one is covering it adequately. As more DBAs become more developer oriented, DB Developers will also become more "DBA Aware". Be sure to check out the other umbrella's resources such as webcasts when you need an answer or want to learn something new. What you are looking for may already be there, but under the other umbrella.
A great example is Reporting Services. DBAs need to know how to install and configure it properly for the organization to get the most out of it. But Visual Studio is the toolset used to create reports (or models used by Report Builder). There is an MSDN Webcast about installing and configuring SSRS, but the TechNet audience would probably get more out of it. There are other MSDN webcasts about developing reports, but deploying the reports is often left to the DBAs with the security model choice being a factor in the usability of the application and reports. Both DBAs and DB Developers need to "cross-train" themselves to be more effective in their organizations. If you are used to viewing TechNet Webcasts, choose a MSDN webcast next time. What you learn could make your life easier.
