Customer Reviews: Learning SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services August 5, 2009 Anke (Ohio United States) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful Learning SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services is an excellent book for the beginner report writer. I have always worked with 3rd party report writing software and had only briefly looked at the report writer in SQL 2008. If you need a report put together quickly, this book will give you a jump start on making it happen! Like one of the other reviews said, you can literally put some together over a weekend. I was lucky enough to have previous experience with this author's writing style. I purchased SQL Server Integration Services Using Visual Studio 2005 and both books are great addition to the DBA's bookshelf. The new Reporting Services book has a little over 500 pages. Each chapter outlines a key concept, breaks it down and provides step-by-step examples on each concept in the chapter. Therefore, you can read the concept, see it (illustrations - at least one on every page!) and then do it (hands on exercises). The book is an easy read, and engages the reader so that you do not fall asleep at the end of chapter one - a must have for the beginner report writer! I have at least a dozen books on SQL 2005/2008 and have taken all of the Microsoft instructor led courses on SQL. This is by far my favorite author for beginner books. I would love to see him write a book on Analysis Services!! Good Hands-on Book June 8, 2009 Gregory T. Woody (Seattle WA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful If you're someone that likes to follow examples, you'll be pleased with this work. I had a need to develop a report quickly (over the weekend) and I used this book as a guide. It helped me make the decisions I needed to get the report up and running quickly. Making SSRS Simple and Easy May 27, 2009 Vamseedhar R. Sane (New York, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful As a step-by-step guide, the book is expected to be relatively big. Browsing through the chapters will immediately give an impression of a careful presentation on how to use SQL Server or more particularly, SQL Server's reporting services. Of course, the relative background on why should this be the choice for developers is also explained. The book is pretty straightforward in the sense that it helps the users deal with the application immediately. Although a small background information exists, readers will be able to use the application soon enough. The book has 10 chapters and 4 appendices that will complement the information provided in the chapters. The challenge for this book is basically on how it will guide the user even those who are not familiar with SQL Servers. As it deals with a particular feature of the application, you can expect a detailed explanation on certain features that may affect the general outcome of the application. As already indicated, the book aims to be a beginner's guide on this specific feature of the SQL Server 2008. To help the reader use the feature immediately, a step-by-step guide on how to implement the reporting services is immediately provided. The book presupposes the user to have a clean slate on how to use the reporting services of SQL Server. Detailed information on how to install and explore the basic services offered by this feature is also included. This could be found in chapters 1 through 7 wherein each function of the application is explored and explained. Also added in these chapters is the integration of the SQL Server 2008 with Visual Studio 2008. Like its 2005 version, Visual Studio 2008 has very impressive features that deal directly with SQL Server 2008. Good book for tactile/kinesthetic learners May 26, 2009 Joe Webb (Brentwood, TN USA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful If you are relatively new to SQL Server Reporting Services and you're a Tactile/Kinesthetic learner (one that learns best by doing rather than listening or reading), this may be the book to help you to quickly get up to speed on Reporting Services. The author teaches by example throughout most of the book, using the Hands-On exercises to deliver much of the book's content. I'd dare say that 70% to 80% of the book is in the form of Hands-On exercises. The book is replete with screen shots to help those less familiar with Reporting Services follow along. For example, Hands-On Exercise 1.1 guides you through installing SQL Server 2008. The author goes to great lengths to ensure each step of the process is clear and unambiguous, using screen shots and commentary to guide the reader through each step. Exercise 1.1 is 25 pages. If you are already well steeped in the SSRS, this book may be a bit on the remedial side for your tastes, though I suspect you'll be able to glean some useful tidbits of information about the differences from prior version of the product.
