Good.

I've finally finished reading the book Pentaho Solutions , who kindly made ​​me get Roland Bouman (co-author of the book) and Wiley .

On this occasion, will realize different opinions from different points of view as I did with Pentaho Reporting . Here are the reviews:

1) Overview: This is a very readable book and handles very well the theoretical and practical.

As they expose the most complex and heavy, is always accompanied with an example, graphic or exercise.

It's a really useful book and required reading for both those just beginning to work with Pentaho, and for that we have some time.

2) Detailed Review: Pentaho Solutions covers the entire data warehousing process.It builds a particular example and through the different sections of the book will reach the final deployment of pentaho solution.

Topics range from the download and installation of mysql pentaho and to the creation interactive analysis, ad hoc reports and dashboards.Turning clear, Pentaho advanced settings, scheduler, subscriptions, bursting, pds, pdi, pme, prd, psw, weka and cdf. The theoretical explanations accompany and support at all times what is being done and / or what to do next.

It should be noted that the examples are geared toward two operating systems:

• GNU / Linux: Ubuntu.
• Window $ XP.

Pentaho Solutions @ s allows beginners to have all the tools at hand to create their own solutions, and allows the @ s for which we have some time with Pentaho deeper theoretical issues and reinforce knowledge.

3) & n Resetilde, at the end: Pentaho Solutions is a highly recommendable book for those who work with Pentaho every day and for those who wish it.
