I'm proficient in writing custom reports from our databases using Crystal Reports but I'm looking at obtaining/mastering some SSRS skills. Has anyone taken any online courses in SSRS that were helpful? I'm looking for something either free or at a cost. I just don't want to pay for something that ends up being non-benficial. Thanks!
I don't know of any free/cheap SSRS courses - the cheapest way to go that I know of is to use the 70-448 self-paced training guide (~$50). You could use the book, online resources, and a willingness to experiment to obtain some SSRS skills for cheap. The nice thing about attending an offline course is that it forces you to focus on learning one particular skill...I get distracted too easily if I take an online course.
Whatever you decide, I wouldn't worry about it being non-beneficial...SSRS is an awesome tool and we use it every day.
