I think anyone with experience with the VFP report writer can get SSRS *basics* down in about an hour. To fully understand all the other stuff takes more time.

>Where the learning curve comes in is just the general concept of the environment....SSRS projects in BIDS/SSDT, shared data sources and datasets, deployment, how SSRS handles procs, the nuances of the report manager/report server, how to put a report on a custom web page. Not rocket science, but each one has a bit of a curve.
