I read it cover to cover, to remind myself of all the options out there. I wanted to make sure I don’t forget something essential when working on Looker design and guidelines for my organisation. For me, the little suggestions alog the lines of “ususally this functionality can be used for…” were very helpful to get me thinking about how I want to do things.Thinking back on how I first started learning Looker, this book would have been useful. It does start from the very beginning of how you get started, but then goes on to cover most of the functionality. Meaning, you’ll be able to do more than someone who just completed a 1-hour “getting started” tutorial. And, you will have a solid understanding of the big picture of what the tool offers and where your own work stands relative to the full offering.It’s a reasonably quick read: it describes what you can do, shares an example and moves on to the next thing. If you have any previous experience with any other BI tool, but you want to learn a new tool, this book will be perfect for you. It’s probably not a book you can use to learn data and business intelligence from scratch, especially if you’re not very tech savvy.

I just finished reading "Business Intelligence with Looker Cookbook" by Khrystyna Grynko. The guide comprehensively covers every aspect of Looker, but it could benefit from more tips on speeding up processes, especially when using Looker ML models. I revised several familiar concepts and learned about new features, such as embedding Looker into external websites and integrating it with platforms like Google Sheets and Looker Studio. However, I missed information on integrating with Gemini. Overall, it's a must-read for mastering Looker and streamlining data visualization processes.
