New to SQL - Old SAS School

I'm trying to understand Datawarehousing in the MS SQL World.
I'm a SAS Developer and have read reams of information on MSDN about Microsofts Approach and DTS. But if I want to run a completely automated system in Batch, is DTS still the approach.
Can anyone suggest a really good course in the UK or Book that might help?
I can see that SQL is a great tool as I've been getting used to it by controlling it from SAS - now I just want to go that little bit further.
Do I need to develop my own environment in VB.NET ?
Please help I'm getting overloaded with MS's TLAs and now need someone to tell me exactly what is needed
