 Good book despite technical inaccuracies and typos April 3, 2006
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I like Wrox books in general and this book has helped me learned SQL Reporting Services (I had no prior knowledge of SRS). I did find some errors in their examples that wasted valuable time for me. MAKE SURE you check out Wrox's errata page for this book before working through the examples: [...]. The numerous typos detract from the professional feel of the book. Until a second edition comes out you may want to consider "Hitchhiker's Guide to SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services".
 This one is just right! December 2, 2004

I have looked over a number of books about SQL Server Reporting Services (RS), and after comparing them decided that this one is best for my needs.
The book starts with a clear overview of just what RS is, what its components are, and how they work together. This seems to be the part that many other books just miss. Other books seem to get caught up in the hype but fail to deliver a direct, no-frills or buzzwords, account of the actual architecture.
I also like that the books assumes that the reader already knows SQL, .NET programming (although you don't have to be a professional to understand their examples), and SQL Server. This enables them to avoid repeating material which is better covered on other books, and allows them to focus on explaining just what Reporting Services can do, and lets the reader get started using RS right away.
My one beef is that their code examples are in both VB.NET and C#, which takes up unnecessary space in the text. But that's a minor complaint when they otherwise do a great job explaining this fascinating and powerful product.
Good start but lacking on advanced report design November 11, 2004

With this book you will be able to set up and run Reporting Services, however, if you are looking for something that details advanced report design (e.g. anything more than simply bound table data) then this is not the book for you. In fact I don't know what would be the book for you. I'm still looking.
BI Consultant's review November 3, 2004
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book does an excellent, thorough job of introducing the product (which is awesome!), and then going all the way through to advanced coding & custom manipulation. The authors have clearly presented the material in a comfortable style, while remaining seriously technical. As a consultant, seminar presenter, and MS2030 trainer, I use this book extensively as a reference as well as a recomendation. My background includes over 10 years of varied development, & reporting.
 The title should be "How to Frustrate Readers" October 29, 2004

The amount of errors in this book is pathetic... obviously the pressures of publishing early is as great as the pressure to release software before it's ready.
