A new Wiki serves as a launching point for the many offerings for developers and IT Pros to discover and learn the new features of SQL Server 2012.

Rather than announcing new bits of content on various blogs, we will simply update the SQL Server 2012 Early Adoption Cookbook wiki so there is one place to find all the latest information about early adoption content assets.

The current version of the Wiki begins by describing the criteria for how we evaluate whether an application or solution is considered a "design win" for early adoption programs like SQL Server 2012 Metro.

• Database Engine AppCompat
• Database Engine AlwaysOn
• Database Engine Beyond Rational
• Data-tier Application Framework
• StreamInsight
• BI Semantic Model
• Integration Services

It also provides links to developer training content.
