Practical, fast, and useful June 27, 2010
Patrick E. (NH US)
I love this book. The chapters are short, concise, and each runs you through a specific SSIS task area. Most of the time you are "doing", not "reading about doing". By the time I was halfway through I was creating SSIS package for various purposes.
If you're looking to quickly learn SSIS, and you already have some general SQL Server experience, this is a great book that will get you up and running very quickly. Highly recommended.
Thumbs up for Microsoft April 26, 2010

As a tool SSIS is a complete nonsense: it is a toy tool (*) intended to solve hard real world problems, which are not solvable by toy tools by the very nature of these problems being hard.
For example any serious integration project written using perl (and backed up by c/c++ if necessary) will take at least order of magnitude less effort (and produce better results) over a normal life span of 10+ years expected for such projects.
However, SSIS (and DTS before) does keep people employed both on programming and book writing sides, so way to go, Redmond.
(*) if one cannot use some sort of human readable, diffable and editable flat files as a source - this is a surest sign that you are dealing with a toy tool.
Excellent book to start learning SSIS March 22, 2010
Ron (California)
This book really focuses on the basic things you in order to use SSIS. It was great to have videos showing exactly how to do the exercises when I got stuck (I wish other books had videos of their exercises). There is more to learn about SSIS than this book covers; but, this is a very good place to start
 Video Tutorial quality is bad! March 9, 2010

The resolution of the video tutorials is very bad! The screens can not be read unless the author is zooming in to a particular area. Why do so many tutorial videos suffer from this poor quality - very unprofessional.
An interesting concept for a programming book February 21, 2010

This book is intended for Microsoft SQL Server database administrators who are not yet familiar with SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). You should have enough understanding to be able to run queries manipulating data. This is a beginner level book so far as SSIS is concerned. As such it doesn't cover every little detail but by the end of the book you will have enough information to use SSIS and to get out of the SSIS documentation what you need to know.
The book has a style that I've not seen before. As a book it is rather typical in format beginning with installation and getting started then going on with a series of chapters describing how to use particular features of the software.
After that, however, it gets more interesting. The book includes a DVD that has a presentation that goes with each chapter. The idea is that you read the book then listen to the presentation. That way you get a concise review of what you should have picked up in the chapter. The reviews are given by the three authors of the book, so the presenter clearly understands the points he is discussion.
I suppose though that you could watch the presentation first and then read the chapter for the details.
There is also a web site associated with the book that provides things like the code that you can download rather than having to type in everything in the lesson.
