So far this book is great for basics. It gives a great overview of all the options you have to create a SSIS package. I had previously purchased the expert version because I had DTS experience and realized SSIS was totally different. So I bought the professional version and it's filled in a lot of gaps. It's also got nice tutorials at the end of the chapters that help you to create a basic SSIS package which is incredibly helpful for learning the new tools that are available.
Everything is good

I met one of the authors (Brian Knight) at an Orlando .NET Code Camp and not knowing who he was I asked him if the book was any good. He graciously responded "I'll let you be the judge of that" and gave me a free copy. Then he jokingly added that he was one of the authors and therefore could not give an impartial opinion. I am so glad I have this book! It has a wealth of invaluable information that has already come in handy. Not only does it give you step-by-step examples but it also gives you clear explanations as to why you are performing the task. No guessing required. I have my copy bookmarked and highlighted all over the place. This book will be going on my top shelf where all my must-have day to day operations books go instead of my why the heck did I buy this pile of crap shelf. I hope you all find it as worthy and invaluable as I do.
A must-have book for anyone serious about SSIS
