I was asked to review this book by the author, opinions and comments are my own. I do work for Qlik and do know the authors but I also am somewhat of an authority on the Qlik Sense product and create my own materials for the Qlik Community and Marketing purposes. I would not leave a review if I felt pressure to or if I did not believe in the content or the authors's ability to present it. First the authors of this book are well established Qlik users and know their stuff as they work with real customers and implemented real Qlik solutions. You can really tell by the organization, structure and topics that are laid out in this book - the authors wanted to share every aspect of their experiences with Qlik Sense; hence using "Hands-On" in the title. I like how the authors used many screen shots of what was being discussed including references to code and samples. I am a "learn-by-example" and visual individual - this approach fits perfectly with my style of learning. The book starts from the basics of getting started such as creating apps and working with data to the more advanced topics such as working with Qlik's Advanced Analytics Connectors, self-service approaches and mobile deployments. One thing I would have liked to see in this book perhaps was a few paragraphs on the data literacy movement as well as a chapter on various visualizations and when, how and why they should be used. However, that being a very minor point - the book is well documented and really does provide a hands-on approach to using and learning Qlik Sense. Well done!

As stated in the headline, this is a solid starter book. One could go from beginner to intermediate in Qlik Sense knowledge with this book. The book progresses as one would expect, with a history and the basics of loading/profiling data. Nice to show both processes, especially for me as I never use the Data Manager. The data modeling section was probably the best section, for me. It reinforced concepts and I learned a thing or two. Good examples and easy to follow, probably the strength of the book. It lost a star when it gets to creating a sample application. There were two QVDs missing from the downloads, so a couple of objects would not show data. Since this app is used throughout, the same issue flowed. ***I posted an issue on Github about this***. One other improvement would have been to include the sample formulas so they could be cut/pasted. I did not have access to Google Big Query so I could not work through ODAG and maps. I just read those sections. If you get this book now, which I still recommend, be aware that some functionality has been changed from the version this book was created with. 4 out of 5 stars for me. I am looking forward to new offerings from the authors. They put together a good product.

Even if the the book contains links for colored images and colored digital copy of the book, I find it inappropriate to publish such a book in black and white, knowing the importance of colors in Qlik visualizations. The book is 400+ pages (fragile), but don't get it wrong, each chapter can be done in a couple of hours (lots of images, which is not bad at all). Concerning the content, if you are completely new to Qlik Sense, then why not, you might learn the basics. If not, then look for something else.

I was really disappointed that all the data visualization was in black and white... They referred to different colours in the text ( for example the red bar represents sales ) yet everything in black and white.Also found the text was clear but the graphs were blurry and difficult for me to read. Ironic.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

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. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
