BI Resources

I asked my company's internal BI mailing list for suggestions on how to get up-to-speed on Business Intelligence technologies, and here are some of the responses.  Note that I have no personal experience with any of these references as of this date.

Books

• The Microsoft Data Warehouse Toolkit: With SQL Server 2005 and the Microsoft Business Intelligence Toolset
  [A] must have book to get you started with designing a data warehouse with SQL Server [...] It covers a beginning to end solution using Kimball design principals.
• Practical Business Intelligence with SQL Server 2005
  Even with 2008 coming out, book is still relevant - and it guides you through a practical example from the ground up,  from the relational database through data warehouse design, analysis services ,and reporting.
