Although the site has a problems with there SQL server I would have a look at the notes on the cramsession site for SQL server to give you some guides.
Also have a look around the MS site for some bulletins on SQL server problems with there fixes and see what there knowledge is there, Another resource is possibly Techrepublic for general interest stuff on SQL server Try him on routine maintenance things that DBA's should be doing regardless of product. things like index rebuilds, space management, explain plans, etc etc and for a tricky one ask them about the wait interface, can't tell you much about it but it has one and it has a number of wait events that it uses.
