SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services best resource for beginners

What I like within the SQL Server Reporting Services is using RDL for own formatted reports, as this gives you the complete freedom to build your own reporting designer tool, if you are not experienced in using Visual Studio based report designer or crystal reports.

So the benefit of beginners in Reporting Services I would like to refer the resources on web:

SSRS-Patterns-Solutions and more in depth towards using RDL and using open source generator such as RDL Generator. Further explanation by the way of tutorials with .NET Generating RDL using .NET Framework.

For SQL Express users I would like to to note that to have full design functionality for reports, the SQL Express Toolkit also needs to be installed on the developer machines. You can get this toolkit from ThisDownloadsLink
