what’s more, this is not just a book you’re holding right now. It’s a video learning tool as well. We
became passionate about video training a number of years ago when we realized that in our own
learning we required exposure to multiple teaching techniques to truly understand a topic — a fact
that is especially true with tutorial books like this one. So, you’ll fi nd hours of videos on the DVD
in this book to help you learn how to confi gure, develop, and deploy solutions for solving Business
Intelligence problems within SharePoint 2010. These videos are even better than reading about the
topic alone and help demonstrate to you the various tutorials in the book.
