Learn Business Intelligence Markup Language (Biml) for automating much of the repetitive, manual labor involved in data integration. We teach you how to build frameworks and use advanced Biml features to get more out of SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), Transact-SQL (T-SQL), and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) than you ever thought possible.
The first part of the book starts with the basics—getting your development environment configured, Biml syntax, and scripting essentials.
Whether a beginner or a seasoned Biml expert, the next part of the book guides you through the process of using Biml to build a framework that captures both your design patterns and execution management. Design patterns are reusable code blocks that standardize the approach you use to perform certain types of data integration, logging, and other key data functions. Design patterns solve common problems encountered when developing data integration solutions. Because you do not have to build the code from scratch each time, design patterns improve your efficiency as a Biml developer.
In addition to leveraging design patterns in your framework, you will learn how to build a robust metadata store and how to package your framework into Biml bundles for deployment within your enterprise.
In the last part of the book, we teach you more advanced Biml features and capabilities, such as SSAS development, T-SQL recipes, documentation autogeneration, and Biml troubleshooting.
The Biml Book:

Provides practical and applicable examples
Teaches you how to use Biml to reduce development time while improving quality

The writing of this book was a collaborative effort taken up by 7 very talented IT professionals. All too often, books like this get derailed due to some, but usually most, of the authors getting bogged down by work, life, family, health, or some other unexpected ordeal. So, it needs to be acknowledged that these authors can be relied upon to complete the things they commit to.

Despite their collective talent, this book would not have been possible without the expert advice and guidance from MVPDays Publishing. This book was their idea, and they have guided its progress from the beginning. Dave has provided excellent advice and just the right amount of cajoling to keep us all on track.

Finally, the third leg of this structure is our sponsor. SentryOne has provided the light at the end of the tunnel that gives us all hope that the many hours spent after work (and family), is not all in vain. The avenues for distribution that they are providing was necessary for all of us to justify our efforts.

Thank you to all for your contributions to this book. Without any one of you, this book would not have been possible.
