Sample jobs and data

Each chapter of the book contains a number of example jobs that we will construct in a systematic manner. Readers are encouraged to follow the steps in order to get the most out of the book and consolidate their learning as they go. However, you can download and import the full set of example jobs if you wish.

Additionally, some jobs rely on database data and file-based data sources to work correctly. Again, these data sources can be downloaded and installed prior to working through the examples.

Appendix A, Installing Sample Jobs and Data, gives full instructions on downloading and installing the example jobs and data files.

Note

Note that some sample data files may have their encoding changed as they are downloaded, unzipped, and copied from one location to another. As a result you may occasionally get some encoding errors notified in the Studio. If this happens, open the offending file and ensure it is saved with the UTF-8 encoding.
