SQL Reporting Services SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio -an extension to MS Visual Studio 2005

Results and outcomes Familiarized myself with work environment Acquired starting skills with software packages Demonstrated my ability to learn quickly Demonstrated task flexibility Developed an interface template for an upcoming project Outcome: Invited to work for another semester
