Web Management Training

[KJ-Rodgers]

I am looking to become educated in some web management, i.e. IIS, SSL, and DB management. Does anyone know where to look to get started?

Judging by the lack of meat on this post you have just started a new position that you dont know much about? Apologies if im presumptuous on this

[KJ-Rodgers]

I have been in this position for a few years. This is an area that has always been grey to me and I want to learn more. Forgive me for the lack of meat, I didn't think it was needed with all of the web developers here.  So I take it you do not know where to get information or were you just commenting to get the free 3 moz points?

Not at all, like I said, apologies for being presumptuous.  Im guessing you want information on SSL and DB on an IIS platform?

[KJ-Rodgers]

Yes. I went to a meeting today with our Network engineer to get him to do some things from the IIS, then it occurred to me that I need that information. I need the ability to go in and manage the servers. But I also know that I will break it if I do not know what I am doing. So any help is great. I am looking for self paced items, or continuing education programs. But I truely do not know where to begin. Everything I look for starts me out trying to lean web design, which I have. Now I need backend education.

What OS are you using?

[KJ-Rodgers]

Use IIS 7 on our server, .net cms (DNN), sql 2008,

Well in any scope of IT training I think a sandbox is always essential... Some cheap hosting on a similar environment for a trial period might be worth investing in to learn the ropes initially.  If you know your linux hosting then you should be able to adapt to an MS environment fairly quick.
