[eb24]

Wanted to know which books do you all think are some of the best for SS Reporting Services?

Hitchhikers guide seems to be very popular - was the one that I used when learning but havn't read any others to be able to give a comparison

Hitchhikers guide is the only one i've used too, but I was a bit suprised at how easy it was to follow through, the writers at least had a sense of humour so overall it was an enjoyable read rather than an uphill struggle.

Definately recommend it.

yup - the sense of humour aspect definitely helps ! makes you see that the authors also struggled through and had "fun" trying to make sense of certain functionality !

Yeah it definately helps to have something to laugh at when you reading a technical book. Thought the authors were superb and like you say Geoff its good to see that they struggled through breaking RS down and also with some of the bugs and terminology i.e Transparent....

FYI: I've seen the WROK version of the RS book. It is ugly. I'd advise staying away from it if you can help it.
