Microsoft resources

Note: This section does not contain links for all sub-pages and other pages that are prominently linked to the pages in this list.

TechNet Tech Centers and MSDN Developer Centers

Make one of these your Integration Services home page!

Note: These centers contain the same content with different "chrome"; that is, the SQL Server 2008 Integration Services Tech Center page is the same as the Developer Center page.

• SQL Server 2008 Integration Services at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/cc510302.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/cc511477.aspx

A sampling of third-party resources

Given the popularity of Integration Services and the power of search engines, it wouldn't make sense to try to list and categorize every mention of Integration Services on the Web. So here's a modest sampling.

Disclaimer: Inclusion in this list means only that I knew about the site or was able to find it by searching; exclusion means only that I didn't or wasn't. This list intentionally omits blogs (see separate list) and vendors of products other than online training.
