The good points of the book are: 1) some of the exercises are pretty well laid out and easy to follow. 2) i didn't find many mistakes in the examples. 3) the basics are covered reasonably well.
The bad points are: 1) including a cd with the book adds to the prices. the examples given on the cd could quite easily be downloaded from microsoft website instead. then microsoft could scrap the cd and reduce the price. 2) also the final few chapters on data warehousing were pointless to me. 3) the book only covers about 25% of the functionality of SSIS..surely the could have showed you how to use more the the new SSIS tasks? 4) probably won't use this as a reference book. 5) will need to buy a better SSIS book now just to get a clearer understanding of it.
there must be better books out there, so aviod this one.

1.0 out of 5 starsBook not thoroughly reviewed!7 May 2008
By FCG - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I agree witht the previous readers that the book was hastely done without any thought for quality! A lot of examples from the book differ drastically with the examples in the cd.(and even with the electronic copy of the book that came w/ the cd!)
I tried to salvage the situation by visiting MS Press for some errata announcements, but i was even more confused in the web-maze that they hyperlinked me to.... to no avail (surprise, surprise!)
If you have a limited budget on reference books... dont buy this one.

4.0 out of 5 starsIt was not that bad at all11 Oct 2007
By Akash Aggarwal - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
if you are a first time visitor to SSIS, I think its a good book. It could definitely have been better but if you need to really practice on real life scenarious, it covers them well. There might be some instructions here and there which do not exactly mirror to the latest version and not sure if those were typos vs beta version but since the SSIS interface is so intuitive it's not as bad and this book really gets you upto speed in very short time. If you are a totally new to the SSIS world, I would recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 starsReview of Step By Step28 Dec 2007
By K. Lee - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I found this book to be quite informative. Given that I am a first timer to SSIS, there were some useful examples. There could have been more substance around the Datawarehousing part of the book. The examples provided on the CD were shockingly packaged. There were files missing and incorrect CD's. This is disappointing given that I bought this book because it was a Microsoft Press publishing.
