SQL Server Yukon Data Mining Tutorial

SqlJunkies: "SQL Server Yukon Data Mining Tutorial " has a white paper on SQL Server Yukon Data Mining. Of course, having the beta of Yukon helps a great deal, but there is still a great deal of good info, for example, a description of the BI Workbench:


Business Intelligence Workbench is a set of tools designed for creating business intelligence projects. Because the workbench was created as an IDE environment in which you can create a complete solution, you work disconnected from the server. You can change your data mining objects as much as you want, but the changes are not reflected on the server until after you deploy the project.
Working in an IDE is beneficial for the following reasons:
• You have powerful customization tools available to configure the workbench to suit your needs.
• You can integrate your Analysis Services project with a variety of other business intelligence projects encapsulating your entire solution into a single view.
• Full source control integration enables your entire team to collaborate in creating a complete business intelligence solution.
The Analysis Services project is the entry point for a business intelligence solution. An Analysis Services project encapsulates mining models and OLAP cubes, along with supplemental objects that make up the Analysis Services database. From Business Intelligence Workbench, you can create and edit Analysis Services objects within a project and deploy the project to the appropriate Analysis Services server or servers.


Many screenshots of the workbench and wizards. Microsoft is really going to upset an industry or two by including all this in the database product for free (again).
