A Practical Guide to Microsoft(R) OLAP Server

Rating:
Summary: The title says it all
Review: As the title suggests, this book is a practical guide to Microsoft OLAP Server. It is not a reference (refer to MSDN for a detailed documentation) nor is it a theoretical book. It gives concrete advices on a wide range of subjects from planning to implementation. This book will save you time if you develop or manage an OLAP solution. I give 5 stars because it succeeds at what it was supposed to deliver.

Summary: A good book to have for real project implementations
Review: It certainly is a good book to have for real project implementations using Microsoft OLAP Services. ALthough I had different expectations from the book. I expected it to have more tips involving technical details about OLAP Services projects. But, this is a good book not only for anybody who is new to OLAP Services but also for project managers or team leads who are planning to implement an OLAP project in real life. I liked chapter 4(has good breakup of task lists) and chapter 13(good technical tips).
