Can you help me with SSRS?

I am new to SSRS.  I have gone through some tutorials in the online Microsoft "docs" pages and I have seen how to create a report.  Now, I am looking at a tutorial (on a different web site) with eager anticipation to start making programmatically generated reports of my own.  This tutorial has these two first steps:

        Step 1: Create and deploy the report.

        Step 2: Add a web reference to the web services exposed by Reporting Services 2005, i.e., ReportExecution2005 and ReportService2005.

So, I know how to create a report (by hand), but, how do I deploy the report?

And how exactly do I add a web reference to the web service exposed by Reporting Services?

This link describes how to create a "report definition file".  So I think that how this must be done is to first have a definition file.  This definition file (I assume) works like a template that data can be fed into dynamically.  Is this right?

And then, I guess, the loaded definition file can be used to generate a report.  Is this correct?
