Visualizing Data with Microsoft Crescent

Yes, it is official, I am now an author.  Yesterday I noticed that the Visualizing Data with Microsoft Crescent book is now listed on Amazon.  I had been asked by Brian Larson if I wanted to collaborate on writing a book for the new reportCrescentBookCover authoring tool and I of course immediately said ‘YES’. I am also one of the technical editors of his other two books for Reporting Services and Delivering Business Intelligence for the new SQL11 release.  There are four of us from Superior Consulting Services that are working on the new Crescent book and so far it has been a very enjoyable experience.  I have been doing the blogging, tweeting, and presenting, so now it is on to something new and actually working towards a published book.

So some insight into the book, this book is going to cover the new reporting authoring tool ‘Crescent’ that is coming out in the next release of SQL11.  This is a new Silverlight browser based reporting experience that will be part of the Reporting Services Integrated Mode configuration with SharePoint 2010.  Not only will the book cover the reporting experience, but we will also go over the Business Intelligence Semantic Models (BISM) which is the new terminology being actively talked about now with SQL11.  In addition to this there will be samples and videos that will provide a very in-depth learning experience so that you will be able to get up-to-speed and familiar with both Crescent and BI Semantic Models.

Now you might know that ‘Crescent’ is the code name provided to this new feature in SQL11 and next week during the PASS 2011 Summit we should be able to have an official name to associate with this along with a few other SQL11 items (maybe even the product itself – 2011 or 2012?).  For the time being though this is the cover, but in the next week or so it should be updated to say ‘Visualizing Data with Microsoft …’.

So for the time being all I can say is thanks to Brian for the opportunity, thanks to my family for their understanding, and I hope that everyone will enjoy the book (and videos).  You can go ahead and pre-order your copy today Visualizing Data with Microsoft Crescent.
