M. Hanief Edwards
Great approach to develop Qlikview skills. Like that it also covers Qliksense. One caveat though: When I opened some of the supplied files. It was locked against personal license use. After ignoring the warning that the personal license would be restricted after opening restricted files, I lost my access...

This is an outstanding book that all QlikView developers should pick up. The concepts discussed in the book are easy to pick up and the downloadable lessons are organized in such a way that you can skip around quite easily. The concepts covered in the book range from the mundane to the quite complex. I had the opportunity to recently meet with the author and his passion for QlikView was clearly made evident. This is an absolute must-have for your library if you are involved with QlikView.

This is an excellent resource for anybody professionally serious about QlikView. The book is well organized and goes deep into subjects like data modeling, U/I optimization, and advanced functions. Where other books delve moderately, this book is unafraid. Oleg, Tammy, and Charlie make sure you understand the business context of their examples, but do not get bogged down with it. The differentiator is their complete and detailed explanations of Qlik functions and methods PLUS why and when they are best used. This is an expert level book, but is approachable for moderately experienced Qlikkies. Of the 5 Qlik books I own, this is definitely, unquestionably the best.
