This book is aims to introduce you to the “...basics of QlikView, and then dive into loading data, performing transformations, creating visualizations, and deployment of the application”. The book is relatively small, having around 140 working pages spread over 8 chapters.Below is a chapter-by-chapter exploration of the topics covered.Chapter 1 QlikView FundamentalsThe book opens with a brief overview of the QlikView components, namely: *QlikView Desktop – development tool *QlikView Server – analytic engine *QlikView Publisher – loads data, and distribution serviceDetails are provided on where to download, and how to install a personal edition of QlikView Desktop. This is followed with an overview of QlikView basics (data is held in RAM, associations used to discover table relationships based on common field names, development is via QlikView Desktop).The chapter continues with an outline of the steps in the development of a QlikView application. These steps form the other chapters of the book. The example used throughout the book is based on the well-known Adventure works 2012 database. There’s a brief overview of the user requirements for the example QlikView application, before showing details of the various tables, their columns, and relationships. There’s a brief look at star and snowflake schemas, stating they are particularly amenable to reporting since they require less joins.The chapter ends with details on how to download a QlikViewEssentials zip file from the publisher, this is unzipped, and its files used in the development of the subsequent QlikView application.This chapter provides a useful overview of what QlikView is, its components, and how to install it.
