Books, Courses and Training about Reporting Service for dummies

Hi,

We have currently done one data ware house project with MS SQL server, reporting server, analysis server and integration server and the users are very happy with it (especially the speed).

The reports have been developed by a developer. I have years of experience in Visual studio, SQL, reports so I could do it very quickly. The users want to make their own reports so they need training. If I look at the requirements for most books and courses they are pretty hard. You must have some experience in SQL server. Or books are focussed on RS2000. Or the books could elapse the whole spectrum of SQL, ETL, cubes and reports or they go in to securing reports.

I think that is not the information that the users want to know. It should start with what is a cube, what are dimensions and what are facts. Then explain something in how do I get the information in excel. And then make reports in the visual studio environment (not the builder on the report server, but the report designer that comes with the client tools in visual studio). Keep in mind that they are not developers nor database administrators.

Any suggestions,

Constantijn Enders

Book

I read alot of Technical books on SQL and I have found that SQL for dummies is actually a pretty good book(nice reference)I wouldn't even bother with books any more after you're done with that one. By the time they come out the "solutions" that were published there become either obsolete or not as efficient as the ones that you can find on web sites. Besides, I just love when a book claims to be "The Ultimate", "The Final", "The Most Comprehensive", etc. and then when attempting to discuss a certain aspect of the architecture states that "this topic is outside of scope of this book..." Go figure, hey?! Web sites on the other hand are free and plenty, so are boards like this one.
