Analysis Services 2005 Content

I'll be updating the SQL dev center this week to get all of the new content into the appropriate places in the information architecture there, but in the meantime, here's a quick rundown of the content that's gone up in the last week or so:

• Overview of the Analysis Services Development and Management Environments
• Introduction to the Unified Dimensional Model (UDM)
• Introduction to MDX Scripting in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Beta 2
• SQL Server Data Mining: Plug-In Algorithms
• A Tutorial for Constructing a Plug-in Viewer

and the not-Analysis Services-but-still-BI-related:

• Data Transformation Services for SQL Server 2005-Frequently Asked Design Questions

Lots of good information straight from the product team for those of  you thinking about creating or updating a data warehouse on 2005.

Addendum: Per Mosha's comment, here's an additional TechNet AS 2005 whitepaper. This one'll be a little more DBA focused than the MSDN pieces above:

• Migrating from Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services to SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 Analysis Services
