QlikView Extensions

sunny_talwar — Fri, 23 Oct 2015 01:46:48 GMT

Hi Guys -

I was wondering if there are paid/unpaid training or resources to learn QlikView Extensions. I don't have any jscript knowledge, but wouldn't mind learning it to expand my knowledge for creating QlikView Extensions. I found this website -> http://q-on.bi/courses/qlikview-extensions/ but there last training happened in June 2015 and next one is not scheduled yet.

Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Sunny

Ralph‌: Any thoughts on this? Do you know if another q-on.bi extensions training can be expected soon?

sunindia‌: perhaps this can get you started: QlikView Extension tutorials, documentation and examples - The Qlik Fix! The Qlik Fix!

Ralf‌ - the website mentions that there are couple of prerequisites. Do you think it is still possible to learn extensions without any knowledge of JavaScript and jQuery?

I am eager to learn about the extensions, but not sure how much do I already need to know to actually gain anything out of the training you offer.

Best,

Sunny

I will keep you guys posted on if I find any good resources. Hopefully you guys can also let me know if you come across something.

Thanks gwassenaar‌ for bringing Ralf's attention to this discussion. In the meantime, I will look at the link you have shared and try to understand some basics.

Thanks once again.

Hi All,

Can we learn without any knowledge of JavaScript and jQuery? I have never work on Java.

Hi Sunny,

Check this link hope it helps you. I think without Javascript, HTML and CSS knowledge it is not possible to create extension.

I would also like to join to learn

Re: QlikView Extensions

rbecher — Fri, 23 Oct 2015 10:56:04 GMT

Agree..

At least some JavaScript basics you could learn for free here: codeschool.com

jQuery then will be easy to understand. It's an additional JavaScript lib which makes JS life more easy.

jagan‌ - I don't mind learning little JavaScript, but my guess is that JavaScript in itself would be a huge beast to conquer. So I am confused how much knowledge of JavaScript is neceassy to be able to get a working knowledge of Extensions.

I was looking at the link that Gysbert shared and it has another link to W3School's website. I might spend some time understanding the basics from there, but the question is: Are those more, less or exactly the things that I need to know to be able to create extensions?

Thanks,

Sunny

Re: QlikView Extensions

rbecher — Fri, 23 Oct 2015 10:59:52 GMT

Basic programming knowledge and basic JavaScript knowledge will be sufficient..

No need to be confused. As with any "huge beast", you don't have to tame it all at once.

JavaScript is fairly easy to get a grip on (though the language supports many modern, advanced & very dynamic features). Moreover, there are a lot of free and excellent resources available on-line. For example, this eBook is great for people that aren't professional programmers:

Eloquent JavaScript

If you're more into watching moving pictures, just try the old Douglas Crockford videos.

Douglas Crockford: "The JavaScript Programming Language" - part 1 of 4 (M4V)

Douglas Crockford: "The JavaScript Programming Language" - part 2 of 4 (M4V)

Douglas Crockford: "The JavaScript Programming Language" - part 3 of 4 (M4V)

Douglas Crockford: "The JavaScript Programming Language" - part 4 of 4 (M4V)

I hope you do have some spare time available, because learning a programming language is best done like you would learn QlikView: experiment, experiment & experiment.

Re: QlikView Extensions

sunny_talwar — Fri, 23 Oct 2015 13:35:23 GMT

Thanks for the encouragement Peter‌. Taking out time for experimenting should be fun, but the most difficult part (at least for me) is to locate the best resources for a beginner like me. But I think I have good starting point now.

Thanks all of your for providing the resources .

Best,

Sunny

P.S. I will try to keep everyone posted on how far along have I tamed the beast

Yes, W3Schools is a very to good site to learn HTML, Javascript and CSS.
