Customer comments on this selection.
 Generally OK
Generally this book is ok. The content of the book covers all the features of Reporting Services, which is good.

br /There aren't a lot of examples, but there are still some useful ones.
br /
br /The only thing really frustrating is some of the custom code examples flat out DO NOT WORK!

br /Overall decent, good information, but not very deep.
 Good book - but codes samples nowhere to be found
I've written many reports using SQL Reporting Services 2000, but it's been a number of months. This book was a good review to get back to speed on it, and covered a number of topics new to SQL 2005 as well as topics I did not know. This is a good book, but the code samples referred to often are not on the SAMS website. Because of this, a person who is using SRSS for the first time may want to choose a different book. I liked "Pro SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services" when I first learned the topic, and now they have a 2005 version.
 Kudos!
I usually don't write reviews. In fact, the very action of me writing this review should note how impressed I am with this book. It's a clear and consise text which addresses both the fundamentals and the hidden "expert knowledge" of reporting services.

br /I am a contractor, and I don't think I could have finished my latest project without this book on my desk everyday - seriously.

Great info in a small form factor
I liked this book because authors did a very good job packing a lot of good information about various aspects of Reporting Services in the book. The book was effective to learn about Reporting Services and handy as a reference afterwards. For example when I needed to alternate colors in a table I immediately found the reference to the topic. This book also covered reporting from Analysis Services (OLAP/MDX and Data Mining/DMX), Larson's book lacked in this area. Section on integration of the Reporting Services in an application was easy to follow and use in my work. The book has a compact design which makes it easy to carry around, especially when you are traveling.
 Poor content. Not useful at all
I have read all the SRS2005 books, and by far, this is the worst. There is hardly any useful information in this. Not a book that you can use as a real-world reference. There is no meat in there. I would recommend either Wrox or Brian Larson's book instead.
