About the Author

Stephen Redmond is CTO of CapricornVentis Limited (http://www.capventis.

com), a QlikView Elite Partner. He is the author of several books, including QlikViewfor Developers Cookbook, Packt Publishing, and the popular DevLogix series for SalesLogix developers.

In 2006, after working for many years with CRM systems, reporting and analysis solutions, and data integration, Stephen started working with QlikView. Since then, CapricornVentis have become QlikView's top partner in the UK and Ireland territory, and with Stephen at the head of the team, they have implemented QlikView in a wide variety of enterprises and large-business customers, across a wide range of sectors, from public sector to financial services to large retailers.

Stephen regularly contributes to online forums, including the Qlik Community. His QlikView blog is at http://www.qliktips.com, and you can follow him on Twitter (@stephencredmond), where he tweets about QlikView, BI, data visualization, technology in general, and occasionally marathon running.

I would like to thank my family for their ongoing support. None of what I do, would be possible without them.

A big shout out to my colleagues in CapricornVentis who are the best team to work with. I don't think that the world has seen a better team of business solution consultants.

About the Reviewers

B. Diane Blackwood has worked as a consultant implementing BusinessIntelligence and Corporate Performance Management (BI and CPM) solutions since 2005. She is currently employed by Strafford Technology Inc., a Business Intelligence consulting firm (http://www.strafford.com/Technology/). She has extensive experience in multiple industries (including micro-electronics, heavy equipment manufacturing, medical, legal, and various retail industries) implementing BI and CPM solutions. In 2010, she worked with El Camino Hospital by creating data warehouse/data marts to feed QlikView, a "social business discovery" software solution. Diane worked closely with Dr. Michael Gallagher, former Director of Informatics at El Camino Hospital, whose enthusiasm for the uses of QlikView in analyzing the hospital and medical data "infected" her.

In 2013, Diane Blackwood wrote Instant QlikView 11 Application Development, PacktPublishing. Diane has also written several biographic encyclopedia articles, including articles on Charles Babbage, Erving Goffman, and Isaac Asimov.

Thank you to Dr. Michael Gallagher for first showing me the prescribing pattern analysis with QlikView.

Steve Dark was a SQL Server/MS ASP developer, building web-based reporting solutions until he was shown a demo of QlikView. Soon after this epiphany, Steve left his previous employer to set up Quick Intelligence, a consultancy focusing entirely on QlikView and delivering Business Intelligence solutions. Preferring to stay at the coalface, Steve spends the majority of his time with clients by building QlikView applications, managing QlikView deployments, and running projects.

He will be never tired of showing QlikView to new users and seeing that "jaw drop moment". Steve is active on the Qlik Community and other social media sites by sharing his enthusiasm for QlikView and assisting other users. Through his blog he shares tutorials, examples, and insights about QlikView (you can read it at http://

www.quickintelligence.co.uk/qlikview-blog/).

Steve has been on the technical review team for QlikView 11 For Developers, QlikView11 For Developers Cookbook (also by Stephen Redmond), and QlikView Scripting. All of these titles are published by Packt Publishing.

I would like to thank my family for putting up with me being constantly involved in these books and my other QlikView

endeavors. Hopefully, my children will at some point, pick up these references and start coding, themselves!

Barry Harmsen is an independent Business Intelligence Consultant based in the Netherlands. Originally from a background of traditional Business Intelligence, data warehousing, and performance management, in 2008 he made the shift to QlikView and a more user-centric form of Business Intelligence.

After switching over to QlikView, Barry has completed many successful implementations in many different industries, ranging from financial services to telecoms, and from manufacturing to healthcare. Barry's QlikView experience covers a wide variety of roles and subjects, including requirements analysis, design, development, architecture, infrastructure, system administration, integration, project management, and training.

In 2012, Barry co-authored the book QlikView 11 for Developers, Packt Publishing. This book quickly established itself as one of the best ways to teach yourself QlikView.

Barry is also one of the core speakers at the Masters Summit for QlikView. This three-day conference for QlikView developers covers advanced topics, and is designed to take your QlikView skills to the next level. More information about Masters Summit can be found at www.masterssummit.com.

Barry writes a QlikView blog at www.qlikfix.com, and can be followed on Twitter via @meneerharmsen.
