Due to Biml's growing popularity among BI professionals, SQL ServerCentral.com has launched a stairway series on Biml. Andy Leonard from Linchpin People and and Paul Waters from Varigence will be writing the "Stairway to Biml" articles.

SQL Server Central's Stairways are designed to get a beginner up and running on SQL Server based technologies. Each Stairway is a SQL tutorial series focused on a single topic and is arranged into no more than a dozen easily-navigable tutorials. Each level is the length of a typical magazine tutorial, and emphasizes practical, hands-on learning, with just enough background theory to help you understand the topic at a deeper level.

Level One of the staircase entitled, "What is Biml" was read over 8000 times on its first day of release. Levels Two through Four of the Stairway are scheduled to be released as follows:

• Level 2 - Wednesday, July 31, 2013
• Level 3 - Wednesday, August 7, 2013
• Level 4 - Wednesday, August 14, 2013

Levels five through twelve will be released over the remainder 2013.
