Professional SSRS 2016 Book Preview Posts

Paul TurleyJanuary 22, 2017October 25, 2017

This page is a table of contents for for several new and forthcoming posts. I’m posting a series of excerpts for my Wrox Press book: Professional SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services and Mobile Reports. Each of the posts is a condensed version of the material covered in a corresponding chapter from the book. Although I would love for you to buy the book to get the full edition of each topic, each post will contain valuable information that I hope will be informative and educational on it’s own; whether you buy the book or not. I’ll update this index with topics and links as I continue to add each post. Until then, some of these will serve as placeholders for future posts.
Please post comments or contact me through my blog if you have questions or feedback, or if you are interested in training and consulting related to this material. – Paul
