I have worked with SQL Server from version 7 for 8 years and I am looking for a good book or books on SQL Server 2005. Here are the areas where I think I need the most help in 2005:
Schemas - I understand what they are but need some practical uses
Encryption
CLR Integration
CTE's
Where to find things in SSMS - I miss EM
And always performance tuning and optimization
I like to think I am competent in Admin and T-SQL Basics, but I know I can learn more. In addition to the things above if you have any recommendations on:
Service Broker
Notification Services
I realize that each of the topics could probably fill a book I'd like to get 2 or 3 indispensable ones.
Thanks in advance.

All three of the Inside SQL Server 2005 books provide information you'll need.

For SQL Server Management Studio, do a search on Amazon.com for Dale Elizabeth Corey. She wrote a book on SSMS that used to be distributed via SSC. I don't know if SSC still does.
For encryption (and security matters), I shameless point to the book I contributed to, How to Cheat at Securing SQL Server 2005. I didn't write the chapter on encryption, but it is decently sized and covers the topic.
