3.0 out of 5 stars Got some useful things from it Aug 30 2011
By ThePocketDBA - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Pro:

For those of us always looking for ways to keep sharpening our SSRS skills, there is value to be found here. Patience is needed. Sometimes it just needs a little thought and fiddling to figure out the author's intent. This applies especially to the SSAS reports.

If you have the patience, you are going to be hard pressed to find another book that will help you dig into the topic of building "expert" reports. So many other books give an overview of SSRS and do not spend enough time with the ins and outs of actual SSRS report writing. At least with any depth.

Con:

I do not think this book needs to be slammed with a one star to make the point that the editing could have been better but I do think the review by Mr. Zucker deserves a better response from Mr. Turley than it got.

It is not our job, Mr. Turley, to spend OUR time editing YOUR book. You are supposed to be the expert that knows more than us and, thus, can either do a better job of reviewing your own work or finding someone who you feel is on your level who can do it for you and has the time. Your response to Mr. Zucker seemed to imply that we should send you money for your book so we can edit it for you.

The reviews written after Mr. Zucker's also seemed to go to the other extreme, almost sounding like friends of the author reacting to the negative comments of Mr. Zucker or, perhaps, as people who are already expert enough to recognize the value in the content of the book but not really needing it themselves. Such people would care far less about any of the things in the book that were of primary concern to Mr. Zucker or anyone else trying to learn new things.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book saved me days! Sep 20 2010
By Michael J. Lynott - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
MS SQL Server Reporting tools do not easily allow you to create "horizontal" reports--where the next item to be reported appears to the right, rather than below. I needed to create such a report. And I couldn't figure out how to do so until I found the example titled "Horizontal Reports" in this book. I literally tried for days to find a solution on my own without success. Did I have to work around some of the directions in the book? Yes. But I note also that there's an on-line forum where concerns and frustrations are being answered. And many of the recipes reference an online entry that inspired the article. I'll be recommending this book to my colleagues, since MS SQL Server Reporting tools are our corporate standard. (Note--I don't know the authors, I'm not related to any of them, and I don't work for any of the companies involved.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Advance your SSRS skills Sep 28 2010
By kmtdf - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is excellent for someone like myself, looking to grow basic to intermediate Reporting Services skills. There are a lot of resources out there which point at advanced features/functionality of the product, but few approach the material from a practical and real-world example-driven approach like this one. For anyone looking to discover and unleash the capabilities of SSRS, this is the book for you.
