Service Oriented Integration and the Reporting Services Web Services
I was blessed with the opportunity to follow one of the best .NET brains in Omaha last night -- the Phil Canarski (sp?) -- with a quick presentation on using Reporting Services's Web Services as part of a Service Oriented Integration effort. Its just amazing some the stuff that folks are doing with Reporting Services and Phil is one of them.
The highlight of night had to be my awful demonstration of C# coding skills. Maybe VB.NET really has inflicited a certain amount of “drain bamage“ on me afterall. However, it did meet my goal of saying the word “Service“ or “Services“ 93 times in an hour.
You can download the deck here (from GoSQLServer.org) if you like, and you're welcome to post any questions, comments or other feedback to this post if you wish. Splitting them up is just a bandwidth thing. I'm thinking that this presentation will likely become part of my regular series of talks so you might get to see it again in the future, maybe even as a SSWUG webcast.
And yes, I really can code in C#... despite my lackluster efforts at doing it live. :)
