 All You Need to Know in One Well Done Book March 5, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Virtually all the information that a company has is maintained in databases. This includes information from vatious department such as personnel, sales, manufacturing, all of which needs to be pulled together into intelligible reports if they are to be of any use to management.
This book is written as a complete guide to the setting up of a reporting structure. It eases the boredom some when you realize that the company used as an example is Galactic Delivery Services, an interplanetary package delivery service complete with anti-matter transports and robot employees. Computer software is dull enough, a bit of humor makes the medicine go down.
The book is what you would expect. It is a complete guide to using Reporting Services from irs installation to tieing the database to the web, security aspects, and everything else there is to know about the product. The author was involved with the writing of part of the package, and this is his second book on the subject.
Great Book! February 28, 2006

This book is an excellent resource for learning Reporting Services from the ground up. It breaks down some very complex aspects of the program into manageable and easy to learn modules. It is filled with examples that make sense and make the learning process more enjoyable. I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to learn this new technology.

This book delivers a solid understanding of Reporting Services derived from working through genuinely useful, real world examples preceded by clear technical overviews.
I am a BI consultant always learning new software technologies and as part of this work, read many instructional s/w books. From this standpoint I can state that this book shows great attention to detail (all of the examples actually work). It also incorporates a very useful feature "Task Notes" that further explains the implicit assumptions and underlying factors following each example. This shows that a great deal of care was taken to ensure that the reader is always on the same page as the writer.
This book is rare in its clarity, technical editing and delivery of concrete skills in return for the effort spent with it. Just keep off my turf when you acquire your skills! (;^ )
The only Reporting book a tech needs. January 4, 2006
This is the only Reporting book needed. I started working with three reporting books, two sucked, this one was excellent. Very complete and easy to follow.
