Reporting Services is a report design and enterprise-class information delivery tool that has aged and matured for more than nine years now. And this book has grown along with the product. We fi rst started writing Professional Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services before the product was released, back in 2003. After four new versions of Reporting Services, there have been four editions of this book.
We have learned a lot about report writing and report solution development from our experience with SSRS and other reporting tools, and we share the benefi t of that experience in this book. Not only do we show you how to use this technology and tools to design reports as they were intended to be used, but we also share the best practices and lessons we have learned along the way. The authors have spent tens of thousands of hours using these tools to solve business problems for organizations in many different industries and businesses.
