Product Description
SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 is the latest version of the reporting technology from Microsoft, providing the means to design, author, render, and deploy business reports to users, customers, and employees via the Web or the company intranet. The reporting engine is built into the SQL Server 2005 database (and provided as a free add-on with SQL Server 2000), and the report manager is integrated with Visual Studio 2003, offering an effective and familiar environment for SQL Server and .NET developers. The book is steeped in the day-to-day challenges, discoveries, and successes involved in delivering a successful reporting solution with this technology. Consequently, you will encounter step-by-step guides, best practices, and real code examples that cover all common Reporting Services tasks.

 got me up and running with SSRS QUICK! April 24, 2008

Loved the writing style. I really appreciated that instead of boring us with an introductory chapter to RDL (Report Definition Language), they sneak it in here and there, keeping the info flowing at a good pace. Plus they wrote the book based on a real-world project they worked on, which makes it easier to grasp the concepts. I give this an A+ and will look for Apress books first from now on ;)

This book has been well written. Concise, but to-the-point. Coverage on Share point portal and Microsoft CRM is the most comprehensive comparing all the other SRS books in the market. I would recommend you buy this book as well as Wrox to be complete.

I began this book with limited Reporting Services experience, not really knowing what to expect. What I found in every chapter was that the authors really took the time to explain the nuances of this technology that can only be understood from working with it in the real-world and not on a sample database with simple reports. I also learned much more about basic and advanced queries that really helped me out with parameters and stored procedures. I would definitely recommend this book for everyone new to reporting services and those who would like to get answers to detailed reporting scenarios.
 Good when Reporting Services 2005 came out but only Fair March 22, 2006

This book at the time was a life savor when Reporting Services 2005 first came out. But as I raced to produce very complex reports in SSRS 2005 in 2006, I quickly realized that this book lacked a lot of very complex scenarios. It is a great book if your organization does only basic reporting but if you're looking for in-depth information on expressions, calculations, etc. this book will not do. It's always a very good starter book and recommend it before you jump into any really complex reports and one that I'll probably still reference for a variety of topics since it does cover the topics quickly but at the same time a good introduction at least.
Depending on the timing, if you are currently racing to get Reporting Services under your belt and it's early 2006, I'd recommend this book, otherwise, wait till some more in-depth books come out later.
