I’m pleased to present a four-week, on-line SSRS 2016 course on behalf of Microsoft; hosted on the edX platform developed by Harvard, MIT and other major universities. The first session began this week but there is still time to get started. Additional sessions will also be offered in the future.
This is not a promotional free trial or some kind of limited offer to get you to sign-up for a more expensive training class. It is high-quality, in-depth training sponsored and produced by Microsoft for free, and led by yours truly – and co-presented by Chris Randall; Senior Content Developer for Microsoft Learning Experiences. The course, with all the materials are free. If you would like an official verification certificate, it’s optional and a mere $49 extra. This course provides general knowledge, helps students develop basic, foundational skills and then focuses specifically on data visualization using existing and newer SSRS features.
Analyzing and Visualizing Data with SQL Server Reporting Services
Learn to create mobile reports, paginated reports, and KPIs using business data with SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
In this computer science course, you will learn to build reports with SQL Server Reporting Services, which includes new visualization features and mobile capabilities. You will learn to create reporting solutions, mobile reports and dashboards.
Whether you’re new to reporting services, or experienced with earlier versions, we’ll show you how to build tables, matrices, advanced visualizations, and dashboards with key performance indicators. You’ll design and deploy compelling, interactive reports for smartphones, tablets, and browsers.
By the end of the course, you’ll have developed a complete reporting solution and be ready to analyze and visualize your own business data with SQL Server Reporting Services.
Note: To complete the hands-on elements in this course, you will require an Azure subscription. You can sign up for a free Azure trial subscription (a valid credit card is required for verification, but you will not be charged for Azure services). Note that the free trial is not available in all regions. It is possible to complete the course and earn a certificate without completing the hands-on practices.
