QlikView Your Business An Expert Guide to Business Discovery with QlikView and Qlik Sense Oleg Troyansky Tammy Gibson Charlie Leichtweis Lars Bjork Books Reviews
- Just finished reading a recently published book for QlikView developers and super users QlikView Your Business An expert guide to Business Discovery with QlikView and Qlik Sense by Oleg Troyansky, Tammy Gibson and Charlie Leichtweis.
I met Oleg Troyansky at Qlik World Conference in Orlando in 2014 and exchanged a couple emails with him before. I read his blog and learned a lot from it. I knew that Oleg contributed a lot of his time to Qlik community forum since 2005 and have been using Qlikview since 2002. Needless to say, my expectations were pretty high.
Please do not be fooled by the name of the book - it might give you an impression that the book was written for business users only. It is not. It is truly an expert guide which will take your skills to the next level.
The books starts easy on you, explaining basic concepts but it is important and unique in a way that these concepts are explained in the context of real business problems.
Newbies will certainly appreciate step-by-step assignments, neatly formatted code that you can actually read and a lot of illustrations.
Being very picky about UI and design, I enjoyed the choice of colors, fonts and the neat and clean design of the book and example dashboards.
By the time you finish the book, you will master very advanced concepts (and they are not for the fainthearted!)
To name a few
Concatenated tables to store multiple fact tables vs. linked fact tables
Generic link tables
"as of date" tables
Advanced set analysis expressions built dynamically on the fly
Numerous recommendations on how to optimize performance for large data sets
Expressions reuse using external files
While I was familiar with most of these concepts, it was really helpful to see how to apply them to real business problems. Not only authors did a great job explaining these tough techniques, they suggested a lot of hints and took time to provide alternative options, not forcing readers to pick the only "right" one, but encouraging them to choose the best method given the circumstances.
As experienced certified QlikView developer and after reading countless blogs, 5 QlikView books, hundreds of white papers and forum posts, I still learned a lot from this book. I can relate to everything that Oleg and his colleagues explain in the book. I appreciate that authors teach reader the best practices and explain the pitfalls and dangers of quick and dirty methods that I see a lot.
Has the book met my high expectations? My answer is absolutely! Really great job, Oleg and the team! I will recommend this book now to my colleagues and I think your book will take the first place now for me. My old favorite book QlikView 11 for Developers by Miguel GarcÃa and Barry Harmsen would have to take the second place!
Both books are great and I think you have to have both if you are serious about QlikView development! - This is an excellent resource for anybody professionally serious about QlikView. The book is well organized and goes deep into subjects like data modeling, U/I optimization, and advanced functions. Where other books delve moderately, this book is unafraid. Oleg, Tammy, and Charlie make sure you understand the business context of their examples, but do not get bogged down with it. The differentiator is their complete and detailed explanations of Qlik functions and methods PLUS why and when they are best used. This is an expert level book, but is approachable for moderately experienced Qlikkies. Of the 5 Qlik books I own, this is definitely, unquestionably the best.
- This is an outstanding book that all QlikView developers should pick up. The concepts discussed in the book are easy to pick up and the downloadable lessons are organized in such a way that you can skip around quite easily. The concepts covered in the book range from the mundane to the quite complex. I had the opportunity to recently meet with the author and his passion for QlikView was clearly made evident. This is an absolute must-have for your library if you are involved with QlikView.
- QlikView Your Business is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to learn and expand their knowledge of both QlikView and Qlik Sense. The principal author, Oleg Troyansky, is a well known and respected Qlik expert with years of experience in Qlik products. QlikView Your Business An Expert Guide to Business Discovery with QlikView and Qlik Sense. We provide "QlikView Your Business" to all of our Qlik Consultants at Visual Data Group and to all of our customers' business analysts and developers. Written extremely well, the book can be read from front to back as a course guide or kept by your keyboard as a ready reference book. Highly recommended! Jim Harder, Founder, Visual Data Group.
- Great approach to develop Qlikview skills. Like that it also covers Qliksense. One caveat though When I opened some of the supplied files. It was locked against personal license use. After ignoring the warning that the personal license would be restricted after opening restricted files, I lost my access...
- It's an excellent guide to learning QlikView. A few of the steps don't match up in producing exactly the same results available in the downloaded solution files. But the differences are minor and don't affect learning the features of the software.
- Great book, very thorough, covers both QlikSense and QlikView in both development and design. A must-have for QlikView students in my opinion.
- I purchased the book after participating in the Master's Summit, and met Oleg Troyansky in person.
The book is organized intuitively, providing examples and explanations to most of my questions.
Although I have experience of more than 7 year with QV, I already took many tips and use cases described in the book.
I believe the book will be handy both to experienced and fresh QV users, and I hope you will enjoy it the same as I did.
Thanks,
Michael.
