Professional Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thanks to:

My wonderful family for their enduring support and occasional tolerance for my over-commitment to books, papers, projects, and events. To my wife Sherri who says “Honey, I love you, but if you bring home one more piece of conference swag, you'll sleep in the garage.”

…the Reporting Services and SQL Server BI product teams at Microsoft; Thierry, Sean, Carolyn, Lukasz, Ariel, Robert, and many others who have been open and available for the past nine years of books, projects, and support. Thank you for letting me play a small role in your quest to avail these fantastic technologies to people who use them to deliver information and make important things happen all over the world. Thanks to Mark, Chuck, Denny, Carl, John, and the SQL CAT team.

…the Microsoft MVP organization for building an unbelievable network of dedicated professionals. To the SQL Server PASS organization who have nurtured a respected and trusted community. To Arnie and the Oregon SQL team for being my “homies.” Thanks to all the PASS chapter directors and SQL Saturday organizers everywhere.

…everyone at SolidQ for building a stellar organization, unlike any other. I'm proud to be counted among so many trusted friends and professionals.

A heartfelt thanks to the editorial and management team at Wiley; especially Bob and Kelly. How you maintain your sanity trying to manage those who write books in our “spare” time is beyond my comprehension. Thank you for your enduring patience and perseverance. ...
