What you need for this book
To repeat the examples in the book exactly, you need a copy of TIBCO Spotfire Professional 6.5 (also known as Spotfire Analyst), but you can follow many aspects of the examples with older versions. You can download a 30-day trial of Spotfire Analyst 6.5 from http://spotfire.tibco.com/tsc/excel/index.html. To repeat the platform administration examples in Chapter 4, The Big Wide World of Spotfire, you need to be an administrator in a TIBCO Spotfire Server installation.
You can download all the data and IronPython scripts used in the examples from http://www.insidespotfire.com.
