Any real world scenarios, non-trivial examples of QlikView for practice ? Or do I have to pay $3000 for those 2-3 day courses
which only teach point and click ?
Thanks for your answer. I almost finished that tutorial. No one/almost no one will hire a person who has done just these tutorials. Similarly, I think one might not get qlik jobs after just doing these tutorials. One needs EXPERIENCE. I feel that it can only come through some real world examples of qlik. Where can I get such examples/scenarios ?
In software development, many/most companies like to see PROJECTS and not just theoretical knowledge. You can finish your web development book end to end, but if you have no project to show, then its hard to get a job/project.
That is why I am interested in getting real world scenarios.
Does this make sense ?
Thank you.
*on how to solve
I'll admit that I should have added that I am almost done with the free qlikview tutorials. They are great, but they are only the first step.
yes, that is close to what I am looking for. Thanks.
Hi John,
For a near real life situation I recommend the book QlikView 11 for Developers written by Miguel Garcia and Barry Harmsen. I think the approach of this book reflects a real world scenario very well. It will suit the next step perfectly.
Also there are some test databases you can use like the MS Access Northwind database.
Cheers,
Michiel
The community is full of real scenarios. And sometimes, you get a question : I have to do, how do I do ?
Some people have real problems and need help: you may try solving them (even if you take much more time than experts do => that is always the case the 1st time). You will get a problem, and sometimes, the solution !

Hi, John.
What you can do is try and use statistics in the public domain. In the UK there is the Office of National Statistics (ONS) which publishes stats on economy, environment, social changes. The U.N. also does the same sort of thing. You can use these as a basis for building apps to analyse the statistics and identify trends.

Aunez Fabrice is wright please be with qlikview discussion so you can enhance your knowledge as much as like Experts
Hi John,
There is no better way to gain experience than to find an itch and scratch it. Maybe there is something in your current work or personal life that could benefit from analysis in QlikView?
When I started with QlikView I turned just about anything I could think of into QlikView applications, just a few of my projects from back in the day:
I'm sure you can come up with similar projects yourself. Find something you want to do and then do it. And of course, if you run into issues, the QlikCommunity is always available to help you out. You'd be surprised by how many questions have already been asked and answered.
Kind regards,
Barry
