We had the honor of spending the day with Eric Veerman of Solid Quality Learning and he is coauthor of Professional SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (Wiley).
All this was complements of Microsoft and Unisys and held at the Islin, NJ offices of Microsoft.
The subject was Project REAL which showcases the Microsoft "Reference Implementation" of the SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence platform.
