Where to Go from Here

Abstract

Writing a book meant for beginners in any technology has its own special challenges. What topics are appropriate and which ones are out of scope? How can enough material be included so that the reader gets a good foundation without making the book too large and expensive? Within every single chapter, I thought about the questions someone new to SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) might ask from both a developer and an administrator point of view. I tried to explain things in a simple way and cover enough to get you started. I didn’t mention some features just to avoid adding unneeded complexity. My hope is that this book inspires you to learn more, and that it just marks the beginning of your journey.
