 Useful and clear, but little verbose July 28, 2010
Luigi Zambetti (Milano (Italy))
It's a good book for learning, almost from scratch, the Reporting Services 2008 without prior knowledge of them.
The numerous step-by-step procedures (often composed from 50 steps and over) need to keep a pc in front of the book, since it would make little sense to simply read it without trying what explains. Unfortunately, in many pages, the author is rather verbose, and would have been desirable greater concision. A quarter of the book is covered by the appendices, even if those relating to the properties of various controls are almost useless, since such information can be retrieveb from the guide quickly.
The binding and pagination are impeccable. Despite the considerable size of the book is easy to keep it open on the desktop near the pc.
 Great book for the begining report writer July 28, 2010

I used this book to assist in creating reports in SQL Reporting Services after a few months of learning T-SQL. It does a great job with practical examples and easy to follow along instructions. I recommend this book to everyone at my work who is getting in to reporting services. I still go back and use it as a reference.

So far this book is just what I wanted. I've used SSRS 2003, 2005 and 2008 but 2008 is quite different and this book helped me familiarize myself with it.
Indispensable Guide and Reference June 15, 2010
Bob Towle (KINGWOOD, TEXAS, US)
Brian's use of complete real-world examples and superb guidance have made this book an indispensable book for the SSRS developer. The downloadable code and examples make it easy to tailor these working products to meet the needs of you own development projects. I have personally taken the example code, modified to meet my requirements and published finished products to the delight of my online clients. Brian will also stand behind his work and can be reached as an additional resource if needed. I don't purchase books that often any longer, but I'd have been lost without this one.
Very good book June 5, 2010

I am new to SSRS. This book gave me all the information to know the benefits of SSRS, best practice programming tips and all the tools I needed to understand SSRS and explore it in more depth on my own. It is a great book. Very detailed but to the point, well explained and easy to follow examples.
