Analysis Services, SSIS, BI, data integration and beyond.
The focus in on SQL server Business Intelligence. Including but not limited to OLAP, Data Mining, Reporting, ETL and general Data Integration using Analysis Services, Integration Services and Reporting Services.
A number of members of the AS team have written (in some cases are still writing) books on SQL Server 2005.
Check out:
MDX Solutions : with Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services 2005 and Hyperion Essbase by Siva ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0471748080/sr=8-1/qid=1146200161/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-8030353-4082221?%5Fencoding=UTF8)
and
Data Mining with SQL Server 2005 by Jamie and Zhaohui (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0471462616/ref=pd_sim_b_3/103-8030353-4082221?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=283155)
The title of the MDX Solutions book is one which makes a lot of people do a double take, seeing Microsoft AS and Hyperion in the same line. This really shows the power of having industry standards, allowing a common skill set to be leveraged across different products and vendors. The recent announcement of collaboration between us and Hyperion only reinforces this.
Happy reading !
Oh, another book to read is http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764584359/ref=pd_sim_b_4/103-8030353-4082221?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=283155 - if nothing else for the foreword !
