Please review the earlier versions of Report builder in two of my published books here:
The second book
Learning SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services
is ideal for beginners who want to spin-out reports from a variety of
data sources and deploy them to report servers. The book is replete with
step-by-step, hands-on exercises where the users can hone their skills.
The fifth book
Learning SQL Server Reporting Services 2012
is a revised edition and a deals with both Native and SharePoint
Integrated modes of Report Servers. This covers every aspect of the
first edition(second book) with lots of added material to include
development in the intervening years.
As the author of these Microsoft Business Intelligence related books I
have great confidence in their usefulness. I would love to hear from
you. Email me at:
