How Qlikview works?

The core feature of QlikView is an in-memory, associative data model which feeds the visualization in a very unique way. In a traditional business intelligence application, the data visualization layer interacts with data through queries which are basically scripts executed by the platform. So if you for example select a country to drill-down to the sales numbers in that country, the data visualization layer runs a script, queries the data, retrieves the data from the data layer and updates the charts and reports in the screen.

QlikView on the other hand do not use this query mechanism. Application and data layer are tightly integrated in QlikView and data relationships are handled in engine level not application level. This means the QlikView charts and reports are integrated with in-memory data model and they know how to filter themselves when user drills down.

The mechanism above help QlikView developers to write significantly less software scripts which shortens the development and makes maintenance easy. Plus, in-memory integration of QlikView application layer and data model enables fast execution which usually eliminates the necessity to aggregate the operational data for performance reasons.

Best QlikView Book in the market: QlikView 11 for Developers

QlikView's distruptive technology makes it a key player and a leader in business intelligence industry. With its flexible and powerful analytics environment, agile development process and relatively easy-to-learn architecture, it is a must business application for every company who would like to make informed business decisions and analysis-guided strategies.

If you want to develop QlikView dashboards for your company, the best way is to engage with an experienced QlikView solution provider that will do the development for you. But if you wish and prefer to spend the time, you can also learn it. The best way again is to get a good QlikView training but you can also buy a QlikView book and learn it. And if you would like a QlikView book advise, we would definitely suggest "QlikView 11 for Developers". Written by Miguel Garcia and Barry Harmsen, we use this book alongside Qlik's standard QlikView training material to train our own consultants. I think we have 5 - 7 copies in our company which is a QlikView partner in Singapore.

We strongly recommend "QlikView 11 for Developers" because it uses a hands-on approach and is well written. Miguel Garcia is a Business Intelligence Consultant and QlikView Solutions Architect and is quite experienced in QlikView implementations. The book shows this.

QlikView 11 for Developers takes a real life data and builds a QlikView application about Airline Operations (not your standard and boring sales performance dataset). The application evolves from chapter to chapter, along with your skills, going from a simple proof-of-concept to creating a data model, adding a custom style, building a dashboard, and handling and manipulating the source via script.
