Windows Joe Knowledge Base

These days a Modern Windows Joe (MWJ) needs to know more than just .NET programming. And knowing .NET programming requires more knowledge than just syntax and keywords. Here are some CONCEPT areas that Windows Joe needs to be fully familiar with:

DATABASES
COMPUTER SECURITY, including DATABASE SECURITY
NETWORKING PROTOCOLS
DIRECTORY SERVICES

These topics can be classified as the "broader body of knowledge" (BBOK) required by a Windows Joe/.NET programmer. Additionally, the following WINDOWS SYSADMIN skills are useful:

How do you administer a Windows Server? (e.g. what commands can you, or might you, want to run on a domain controller)
How do you administer Scheduled Tasks?
How do you administer a Database?
How do you maintain an Active Directory install?

TOOLCHAINS (e.g. for continuous integration, unit testing).
