What a life saver! I'm a software developer in a small shop and our biggest client is a large law firm with LOTS of data and users hungry for easy to read reports reflecting said data. None of us have much experience with SQL Reporting Services as most of our experience for reporting is in Crystal Reports.

Stanek Microsoft Press, 2008 Stanek is the #1 Windows authority for a reason and this book is excellent. Newbie pointer: Ch. 3 & 7 are all about server and server core. Ch. 3 tells how to install both. Ch. 7 tells how to configure at the gui or command line. There's literally hundreds of command line examples throughout the book too. Plus once you install the tools on another box, like it says, you can manage using gui from another box. Why this is the best: William Stanek is well known for his ...             National Electrical Code 2008 (National Fire Protection Association National Electrical Code)25 reviews NFPA Delmar Cengage Learning, 2007 Good.

Sams, 2008 Incredible Resource!!! I went to the Windows 2008 launch event and got excited about migrating our company to Windows 2008, but wanted to get a third party book to help me better understand the REAL features, functions, and experiences of the product (rather than Microsoft's rendition of it).

My college is using it as the textbook for its VB curriculum, but I'll be certain to keep the book within reach whenever I program in VB.
