I'm trying to buff up my skills with SSIS/SSRS/SSAS.
I have the 70-448 MS SQL Server 2008 Business Intelligence and Maintenance self-paced training book. However, I no longer have SQL Server 2008 and cannot find a place to download it THAT WILL WORK. I tried one, and it came back and said I didn't have some registry entries it was looking for.
So, now I'm trying to use this 2008 book with SS 2014, and, well, there's some problems with following stuff due to changes in the version I guess.
So, question is, what self-paced books are out there THAT ARE GOOD, that I can use. I'm an experienced programmer, and have used SSIS several times at work, and SSRS for one job. No SSAS yet.
I'm looking at Amazon, and nothing is really floating my boat.
I DO NOT WANT TO GO TAKE SOME BOOT CAMP CLASS. That is not how I learn.
Possibly work towards a certification, though I and some employers don't view certifications as an adequate replacement for real world experience. Since I have the real world, a certification might just convince someone. But, I definitely need to work through some projects and get familiar with as much as I can.
Thanks, David
