When it comes to technology, especially platforms like Qlik, hundreds of books have been written, online tutorials have been authored, free ebooks available to download and so on.. There are multiple ways one can approach learning this platform and different books focus on different aspects in great details! However what I have always found missing is application of these platforms & technologies in real world which not just revolves around implementing real world scenarios but largely focuses on what I call as "extended challenges"; solving these, navigating these are the most important ingredients of a successful project which finally delivers business value expected out of technology investments. This book will challenge you to look much beyond what you usually consider in a role of Qlik expert, it will force you to re-think your role and will help shape your thought process to become a successful consultant who listens to the customers, sees beyond the facts, connects the dots and ensures business value at the end, all from the perspective of reaping maximum benefits from this platform for your customer!

Dimitri Shvorob Nov 05, 2017

What we have here is a nasty case of false advertising. A 400-page book called "Implementing Qlik Sense", and sold for $55, has maybe 100 pages of *random* Qlik Sense content. (Mind you, these are the low-payload Packt pages: in a book from a proper publisher, this would be 50). The authors did not want to write a book about Qlik Sense: my guess is they were out to produce a book about implementing data-analytics projects. In the event, they reached neither objective, and produced a low-quality, disjointed, derivative Frankenstein's monster of a book. BI professionals will understand the authors' technical level if I say that on page 29, they list "Terrada" among "data warehouse systems". One of the authors is apparently learning "Phython"; when I read that the other one is a "Qlik Sense MVP", I only wondered how high the bar for that achievement is. Karl Pover and Julian Villafuerte, both authors of Packt-published QlikView/Qlik Sense books, signed off on this thing as editorial reviewers - shame on them too. Finally, shame on Qlik, who, for a couple of years now, have failed to produce or support a quality book on Qlik Sense, inviting yet another unfavorable comparison with Tableau or Power BI. For the record, I hold certifications from all three vendors, i.e. Qlik, Tableau and Microsoft. Consider this when weighing my review against the five-star, one-line, zero-books-previously-reviewed reviews which are typical with Packt products and, I am sure, will in short course grace this page.

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most.
