Gary,

I do not know of any particular materials that you could read, but if you buy a starter type book from a local bookstore on the subject, that would be a good start. I always stay away from the Microsoft titles. I have found that Wrox and Que are pretty good publishers on subjects like these.

You certainly have your hands full if you're jumping in to both SQL Server and .NET.

Good luck!
