Hi Venkata,

You may be interested in the book "QlikView 11 for Developers" that Mike García and I wrote. It will be available around November 15th:

In this book we take a practical, hands-on approach to teaching you everything you need to know to get productive with QlikView 11 as a developer.

Kind regards,

Barry

Dear Venkatabuvana,

Here are the books and short description:

1. QlikView Tutorial - for Quick learning

2. QlikView Reference Manual - for Detailed learning (Excellent)

3. QlikView Scripting - for Quick learning advanced topics but not in detail

4. QlikView 11 for Developers - for Detailed learning and useful for Designer/Developer certification (Excellent)

However, There are many other books are available in the market for getting grip over the QlikView.

Kind regards,

Ishfaque Ahmed

Hi yihang li,

Normally I would help out here, however seeing that you copied (not cool!) instead of bought the book I'll let you figure it out yourself. We put a lot of hard work into creating this book, now you can put in a little effort finding the files.

Cheers,

Barry

Sorry Barry, I forget to mention that my manager has already order me the hard copy few days ago. I just want to have some warm-up study myself, however if you concern about copy right issue I will just wait until my hard copy arrived and I think it may have the disc of HighCould airlines data file. I am appreciate the hard work made by author. and we did pay for it. I am apologize for any behaviour that make the author feel not cool .

Just curiosity, the soft copy I think he purchased online, is still not good to share?

Cheers

Okay, as a next step, you can then buy Qlikview 11 for developers. As I already mentioned, it is not very costly. Just USD 3 - 4. I am already doing that, and it explains additional features / functions / scripting / Transformation about Qlikview. Very good book, and helps you in preparing for Qlikview Certification as well.
