While learning something new is difficult it is also fun. If you are a professional or seasoned SQL Server 2005 DBA/Developer you have lots of materials and books at your disposal for learning SQL Server 2008. You obviously can't read and learn all of them but a good selection will make you at ease. I recommend anyone who wants to learn SQL Server 2008 the following titles which I found useful. Please feel free to comment and add any more titles you really think are useful.
