After many months of hard work, today I am proud and excited to announce the upcoming release of the new QlikView book that Mike García and I wrote together:
QlikView 11 for Developers
With 500 pages of original content and an extensive collection of code samples, we believe this book contains everything new (and seasoned) QlikView developers should know in order to put QlikView 11 to productive use.
The book will be published by Packt Publishing and is scheduled for release on November 15th. If you want to secure a copy for yourself, pre-orders can be placed via this page.
Of course, writing a book is not a solo (or in our case, duo) exercise. Mike and I could not have done it without the great contributions of:
| Donald Farmer | Foreword | Blog | @donalddotfarmer |
| Ralf Becher | Technical review | Blog | @TIQView |
| Steve Dark | Technical review | Blog | @quintelligence |
| Stephen Redmond | Technical review | Blog | @stephencredmond |
| John Trigg | Code support | @qt_trigjoh | |
| Rashmi Phadnis | Acquisition editor | @rashp | |
| Joanne Fitzpatrick | Acquisition editor | ||
| Sai Gamare | Project coordinator | @saigamare | |
| Anugya Khurana | Project coordinator | ||
| Ankita Shashi | Lead Technical editor | ||
| Nitee Shetty | Technical editor |
In the coming weeks, we will be giving you insights into the book and will also be giving away a few copies, so be sure to watch this space. You can get notified of new posts by entering your email address in the input box in the top right corner of this page.
Update 2012/11/20: yesterday we were informed by the publisher that both the print version and the e-book will be released on November 23rd.
Update 2012/11/23: the book is now available for sale! (Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Packt)
Update 2012/11/29: for those that are unable to download the code bundle from the publisher’s website, you can also download it from this link: http://bit.ly/CodeBundle

This is really good news, thanks. I’m so looking forward to being able to get this and gain more out of my investment in QlikView. I’m at the Teradata conference in DC this week and it is exciting to hear about QV’s new way of working with Teradata.
Good Work!!! can’t wait to read it 🙂
Regards,
Linda
Wow, nice job guys!

Great to see that you are finally able to go public with this. I can vouch for it being a great read and would like to thank you and Mike for all the effort that went in to creating this excellent offering to the QlikView Community.
Congrats, great news!!!
Are you planning a e-book version?
Hi,
Yes, the ebook version will be released at the same time as the regular book.
Kind regards,
Barry

Hi,
How to order this fine book. dying to read this book.
Regards & Congrats to whole team
I ordered your book months ago. Good news it will be shipped in November!
Look forward to the read, and am hoping you have information on building extensions in it. That would be icing on the cake!
Thanks, and thanks to your team!
David
Hi David,
Thanks for being an ‘early adaptor’ 🙂
Unfortunately, the book will not cover extension development. That subject is so broad that I could probably write a whole other book about it (and maybe I will). Have you seen my post on extensions? (http://www.qlikfix.com/2012/07/03/qlikview-extension-tutorials-documentation-and-examples/)
Kind regards,
Barry
Congrats!!
Will be translated to others languages?
Hello Miguel,
As far as I am aware, there are not yet any plans to translate the book into other languages. You could ask the publisher, Packt Publishing, via [email protected]. I imagine the publisher might be willing to do a translation if they feel there’s enough demand for it.
Kind regards,
Barry
Very nice. Waiting for it!
Hello Barry,
Will definitely get and read the book. Been waiting for such a book for quite some time now. Amazon says the book will be available in Dec. I hope it comes out sooner than that
Regards,
Marko
Thanks Barry. It was really the missing on the Qlikview world. Can’t wait to buy one.
Regards,
Omur
Hey Barry. Goed werk man! Ik ben zeker van plan om er één aan te schaffen. Groeten Roel
Hey Barry,
I bought the book today, 19-Nov but it says its still on pre-order?
Any firmed up date for release? eagerly waiting for the book 🙂
Hi Harshad,
The book was sent to the printer last Friday (November 16th). The e-book should be available by tomorrow, the print version should follow a few days later.
Kind regards,
Barry
Hi – Is this book good to read if i want to take an certification in qlikview 11 developer?? 🙂 Or should i buy something else?
Hello Thomas,
Of course! This book should get you at least 80% to 90% there. IMHO, the remaining knowledge and understanding can only be acquired by further hands-on practice and exploration.
Kind regards,
Barry
Is it avaliable now ?
Hi Barry,
Can´t wait to read your book. I pre-ordered it at PacktPub.com, do you know when the ebook version is going to be avaliable?
Thanks!
Hi,
I ordered the book but can’t download it.
When the book will be available ?
Hi it’s nov 24 and I still can’t download the book
I ordered from pactpub
I saw that amazon already sell the ebook
Why to do a pre-order if you can get it before from amazon?
All,
We were told by the publisher that the book would be available last Friday. Somehow, this has not happened. The website status has been updated (it no longer shows as pre-order), but the books have not been sent out.
You can imagine that, to put it very mildly, I am not very pleased with this either. The book’s final manuscript has been delivered to the publisher by Miguel and me a few weeks ago already. We are also anxiously awaiting the final result of our many months of work.
As it is weekend now, I am unable to contact the publisher directly to resolve this. I have emailed them though, and have demanded a guaranteed and definitive date for the delivery of the book. I will follow-up on this tomorrow and will keep you updated.
Kind regards,
Barry
I now got the ebook from packtpub – but is there no files along with it? Im thinking of case files.
Hi Thomas,
The files should be online at PacktPub tomorrow, in the mean time, you can use think link to download the files: http://bit.ly/CodeBundle (it’s an 840 MB file, so it might take a while)
Kind regards,
Barry
Thank you very much! Now i will read the book and take my certification next week 🙂
Looking forward to see some nice tips and tricks – and too understand different subjects better.
Will all books from different resellers contain some kind of redeemable code for an eBook? Or will only purchases directly from PacktPub include a free eBook?
Hi,
To be honest, I am not sure if this is the case (and could not really get an answer either). I guess the safest route is to order directly from Packt. The ebook they supply can be downloaded in PDF, EPUB and MOBI and can be sent to your Kindle reader. You can also access the book via the online Packt Library.
Maybe someone who bought the book through another channel can answer this question?
Kind regards,
Barry
I just purchased the book from Packt and downloaded the e-book but I have no option to download the example QVD files. My email account is registered but the “Download Code” link does not appear. What am I missing?
Hi Scott,
The files should already be online at PacktPub, in case they’re note, you can use this link to download the files: http://bit.ly/CodeBundle (840 MB)
Kind regards,
Barry
Thanks so much. I had submitted a ticket with Packt and they mentioned it would be 48 hours but the link makes it so much quicker.
Excited to get started!
Just in case anyone else is having issues – the code link is now posted on Packt.
All is well in book land…I got official word that the book is available and indeed it is. I downloaded my formats from my account. The code download appears to be broken, but you have provided an alternative.
WOOHOO!!! Way to go Barry!!!!
Thanks
Well the code file is not valid. Every time you download it, the file size is different. If anyone has downloaded a valid file please email it to me or send me the link.
Thanks,
Paras.
I downloaded the code successfully. Thank You Barry Barry Much 🙂
Hello Barry/Miguel
I pre-ordered the book, I am new to qlikview. I have good understanding on QV before I started reading this book. This book is simply superb, amazing work has done by authors. Very well planned the way example selected through the book and explanation. I could not find a single mistake so far i read 5 chapters. Gives lot of information from basics to high level which you will find or very hard to find any whre else. We can authors dedication, passion and hardwork in this book. Thank you so much.
** TYPO, I mean to say we can not find this information anywhere else.
Very good book.
Thanks for helping QV developers.
