SQL Server Reporting Services Resources

I've recently finished an interesting project that made heavy use of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. As you are probably aware, Systems Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2 includes SSRS, I'd like to share some of what I've learned with a series of blogs about this technology and the tools available to author reports.

In sorting out SSRS, I spent time with a few books that are worthy of mention.

Books

Hitchhiker's Guide to SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services - 2005 - Peter Blackburn & William Vaughn (Addison Wesley).  ST note: while slightly dated much of the material remains relevant, I'm proud to have a copy signed by the author.

Hitchhiker's Guide to Visual Studio and SQL Server Seventh Edition - 2007 - William Vaughn with Peter Blackburn (Addison Wesley). ST note: there is one chapter that speaks to the updates to SSRS 2005, and much valuable information on using Visual Studio to interact with SQL Server

Pro SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services - 2006 - Rodney Landrum & Walter Voytek (Apress). ST Note: nice description on how to integrate parameter driven reports and stored procedures.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Administrator's Companion - 2007 - Whalen, Garcia, Patel, Misner & Isakov (Microsoft Press). ST note: Very good general guide for SQL Server 2005, one chapter on Reporting Services, good overview.
