Experienced DBA but New to MS SQLServer

I am an experienced DBA with other DBMSes and am making the transition
to MS SQLServer. What references can members of the MS SQLServer
community recommend for a smoother switch -- essential OEM manuals,
3rd-party books, websites, news groups, online courses, useful
certifications to pursue, do's-don'ts-gotchas lists, etc? Your
experienced insight is greatly appreciated.I made the transition almost a year ago from Oracle.
I have a link:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/deploy/sqlorpro.mspx
and a nice e-book:

Good luck,
Yaniv
