Finally a Qlikview Book that does it! Review by RustyFishBones

Overall

Although I have yet to complete this book, I felt compelled to write a review before I have finished, I am that confident! I am not from a QlikView or even IT background, my history lies in Warehousing, Supply Chain and Logistics.

I had been making many mistakes and I believed QlikView was complicated, it turns out I was the complicated one. Barry and Miguel have written a book than simplifies the development of QlikView Applications,.

I only wished this book had been written 2 years ago, it would have saved me precious time and I would be even more advanced using QlikView than I am now.

A more detailed review will follow once the book is completed.

Thanks again Harmsen & Garcia

The best preperation for your certificates Review by Vincent Hayward

Overall

This book was for me a good preparation to pass my QlikView certification.

This book not only handles the various features and functions described in detail, but is also full of background information. Such as how to implement a 3-tier architecture and how to structure an application. Certainly from maintenance point of view this information is very useful. As an experienced QlikView consultant, I still had a few aha-erlebnissen and the book both broadened and deepened my knowledge.

Barry and Mike, Thanks!

A Fantastic Book Review by Mark Phelps

Overall

As an experienced QlikView developer, I found much in this book to be both useful and insightful. I picked up many tips and new approaches to problem solving in QlikView and the exercises and practical tests were a big help in achieving my QlikView 11 Designer and Developer certification.

A fantastic addition to a QlikView developer’s tool-set.
