To get the most out of this book
This book will introduce the basics of the open source visual programming tool KNIME Analytics Platform and time series analysis. Basic knowledge of data transformations is assumed, while no coding skills are required thanks to the codeless implementation of the examples. Python installation is required for using the time series integration in KNIME.
The installation of some use case-specific extensions and integrations will be indicated and instructed in the respective chapters. We will introduce KNIME Server for enterprise features in Chapter 2, Introduction to KNIME Analytics Platform, but all practical examples are implemented in the open source KNIME Analytics Platform.
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book’s GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
