Speaking at Virtual Techdays Developers 2009 (1 april)

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Virtual l TechDays 2009 is a 24-hour day of ONLINE technology learning with 95 LIVE sessions delivered anywhere.

In this FREE event, I will be speaking on the topic of Reporting Services 2008 in SharePoint integrated Mode. So make sure you look at the sessions and sign-up for the ones you're intrested in.The sessions are presented via LiveMeeting. See the list of session on ttp://www.msfttechdays.com/public/sessionlist.aspx

Here is a detailed version of my topic, for those of you intrested in SQL Reporting Services 2008 in SharePoint Integrated Mode
OFC202 Put the Pedal to the Metal When Reporting through SharePoint

–>

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services has two gears: Native and SharePoint Integrated. Native mode is like driving on a highway–smooth and fast but there's a speed limit. Incorporating Reporting Services into Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 via the SharePoint integrated mode enables users to put the pedal to the medal by speeding through their tasks. They can have all reports, documents, and data sources within a single site. In this session, an overview of the differences in standard mode and SharePoint integrated mode are discussed, along with interactive demonstrations.
