Welcome to Learn Microsoft BI!

On 9 June 2008 I had the honor of presenting a pre-conference talk at Tech Ed 2008. The talk was about delivering BI using the Microsoft BI stack and I mentioned a number of papers and other links during the presentation. Here is a list of useful links for those who asked.

• Here is a series of webcasts done for the launch of the Indian branch of Solid Quality Mentors: http://www.solidq.com/in/Events.aspx. Topics include SQL Server Reporting Services 2008, PerformancePoint Server 2007 Planning, and more.
• When looking for best practices, a good place to start is the SQL Server Customer Advisory Team at http://www.sqlcat.com.
• For MDX help, check out http://www.mosha.com/msolap/.
• If data mining is your interest, check out this site maintained by the data mining team: http://www.sqlserverdatamining.com.
• For SSIS and SSAS help, Erik Veerman's blog is excellent (as are the SSIS books he has co-authored): http://blogs.solidq.com/EN/Erik/.

This is by no means a complete list and there are many other excellent resources. These are just the ones I mentioned in response to various questions.
