Reporting Services resources

Thanks to everyone who attended my SQL Server Reporting Services class in Nashville over the last couple of weeks. As promised, here is a list of online resources that may prove useful to you as you continue to work with Reporting Services.

• Reporting Services Tutorials
• Reporting Services Samples on Codeplex
• Reporting Services Developer Info Center
• Beginning SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Simple-Talk article series by Steve Joubert
• Microsoft MSDN Reporting Services Forum
• TechNet SQL Server TechCenter
• MSBI Central

Additionally, the following links, though not wholly dedicated to Reporting Services, frequently have good Reporting Services articles and content.

• Professional Association for SQL Server
• SQL Blog
• SQL Server Central
• SQL Server Performance
• Microsoft MSDN SQL Server Forums
• SQL Down Under
• SQLTeam

And finally, the following book has been well received by its readers according to Amazon.

• Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services 2005 by Brian Larson

This list is far from comprehensive. So if you have some links that you’ve found worthwhile, please share them in the comments below.

Update: After I published this list, I was reminded of another great Reporting Services resource entitled Rules to Better SQL Reporting Services. It discusses some best practices for report design to give your users a better experience. It’s definitely worth the read.
