Train yourself to learn faster

We have already mentioned that experience is the best teacher for a report developer. In this section, we shared some exercises you could develop by yourself, so you can try creating and customizing a Pentaho Report using Pentaho Report Designer.

If don't have Pentaho Report Designer already installed on your laptop, check Chapter 2, Getting Started with Report Designer, for a step-by-step description of how to install it. If one or more exercises appear too difficult, don't worry. In the next chapters, you will cover all the details of the development and you will become a real expert.

In the meantime, remember that the solutions to all the suggested exercises can be found in the https://github.com/fcorti/pentaho-8-reporting-for-java-developers repository, more precisely in the Chapter 04 - Creating a report with Report Designer/my_reports path.
