• Thanks for encouragement but it will be a few months before I study again in earnest.

    I started with Andy Leonard's excellent 'Stairway to Integration Services' here on SSC:

    Also James Beresford has some excellent articles and examples on the SSIS Components (focus on SQL 2008 here but very useful)

    Youtube has lots of free stuff of course which is just as well as the MCM program videos are of little use when it comes to the SSIS. Still very awesome for Admin stuff etc. so well worth bookmarking:

    I found Rick Dobson's links on the 70-463 exam really helpful:

    For a textbook I used 'Professional Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Integration Services' (Wrox) which is both comprehensive and weighty.

    Also as mentioned, pestering Devs 😀
