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.
