Good intro for the novice

I knew nothing about it but now I do thanks to this simple book on the subject and well laid out to get a good overview and now I could easily get involved and learn more knowing the basics.

A great DW book for beginners

Look, this look isn't for experienced DW people. However, it wouldn't hurt some of the DW "experts" I know to read it.The author gived down to earth comments and examples of what the industry entails and what DW is all about. He covers most of the issues and gave me some interesting insight into some areas that I haven't yet delt with.I've been working in DW for over 5 years. Even so, I think this book is worth reading. I'm gald I did.

From a beginner to a different people!!

This book is really excellent. Before reading it, everything in Datawarehousing seemed to be dark, but now, everyone listen to me when I talk to other people about data warehouse. Is the first book I am motivated to read from the beginning through the end.
