Hands-On Labs
With more than 35 featured topics, Hands-on Labs (HOLs) provide fantastic drill-down technical learning opportunities in a self-paced environment as well as two instructor-led labs. Each HOL lets you experience a Microsoft product or technology by working at your own computer station. Work at your own speed with the support of experienced Technical Learning Guides (TLGs), including members of the SQL Server development team. Labs take 30-60 minutes to complete and are available on 50 computers in the HOL area.
