Mailbag: Learning FIM, SQL and IIS
Recently, a reader reached out to me for advice on learning FIM, SQL and IIS. As well as guidance on setting up a lab (more advice on that part in a later post).
First think for a moment about your best learning styles for technology. Do you need to read the concepts and architecture first and then do it? Do you need to watch a video and then read, and then do it? Do you need to try it and then go back and read? Do you need an instructor? Sometimes you have to learn through experimentation. In the early days of ILM 2 Beta there wasn’t much info so we had to experiment. Brad Turner and I spent many days in a lab configuring and trying things out to see what was the best practice.
