1.3. Summary
This chapter has provided a basic overview of SSRS and the new features available in SSRS 2008. You have seen the basic development tools available to create new reports and some of the enhancements to the user and development experience that make SSRS 2008 much better than any of its predecessors. You have also been given a brief glimpse of how your reports integrate with your SharePoint installation and how your reports will look and feel once deployed to your site collection.
This chapter was meant to provide an SSRS 2008 and SharePoint integration. It was meant to foreshadow a bit for future chapters and to offer at least a cursory understanding of SSRS so that subsequent chapters will be more accessible. And with that it is time to get to the fun stuff: making reports.
