QlikView training -- Designer vs Developer?

[#1]

I am new to QlikView.  From a training perspective, is it better to start with a Designer course or a Developer course if you are planning on taking both courses?

First of All, Welcome to QlikView

I would recommend you to select Developer. Designer also good but Developer is bit advanced
