Don't know your reasons but sincerly sorry.
Get yourself at least the free 2005 Express Edition so you can get familiar with it and the framework itself.
Under no sircumstances do not limit yourself to one thing - broaden your horizons, learn as much as you can for your benefits.

Anyway, I wish best of luck.
