I like PluralSight a bit.

I like it, I just think it's a little bit expensive for what it is, as it's really only supplemental material. you still need a book for the Cisco and MS certs and labs.

$29.95. Not horrible.

Thanks - I'm already taking three other classes over winter, we'll see if I actually have time to audit this one as well.

That's not good. Bait and switch is a good way to burn your bridges.

RIght, it's only a 60 day trial too. So, not really free if you ask me. When I receive the sales call I will let you know.

Like MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL is a full RDBMS. It's a hard core enterprise system that goes after drop in replacement with Oracle DB. Pretty much any enterprise software using a database lets you select between PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase and SQL Server if not many more like MySQL, MariaDB, DB2, etc.

MySQL is focused on lightweight web applications so is tuned differently than the others. PostgreSQL is the new darling for enterprise app development. It's old but really good.

OMG, remember when we used to buy BOOKS! LOL

I still buy books, just not the dead tree variety.
