First, we'd like to express our thanks for visiting YukonXML.com!

When Microsoft announced the beta 1 of Yukon last year, some of the PerfectXML team members started working on a new resources Web site dedicated to "Yukon".

Initially we planned to cover only XML-related features on this site, hence the domain name was chosen as YukonXML.com (at that time, SQL Server 2005 was not yet the official name for the release, everywhere it was referred as Yukon). But, very soon we realized that to make YukonXML a premier site for all things SQL Server 2005, we need to expand the scope and as our managing editor mentioned in his first blog entry, with the help of community members such as you, we plan to cover all the SQL Server 2005 features and technologies on this site.

When Yukon received the official name as SQL Server 2005, we registered the domain SS2005.com (for SQL Server 2005) and it points to YukonXML.com.

Our mission is to bring to you the quality content on SQL Server 2005 technologies. Articles, case studies, sample chapters, glossary, articles on other Web sites, up-to-date news and reviews, listings (books, tools, organizations, etc.), community blogs, discussion forums, book reviews and recommendations, events listing, and more, all of which you can find on this Web site.

If you like what we are doing, please tell a friend If you don't like anything or have questions, comments, suggestions, we look forward to hear them from you. We welcome and encourage you to contribute to this community Web site. If you would like to blog about SQL Server 2005, click here to find out how you can become a blog author on YukonXML.com.

Finally, we hope you'll come to YukonXML.com everyday! Atleast to get Daily dose of Yukon and News.
