Description

Pentaho Reporting lets you create, generate, and distribute rich and sophisticated report content from different data sources. Knowing how to use it quickly and efficiently gives you the edge in producing reports from your database. If you have been looking for a book that has plenty of easy-to-understand instructions and also contains lots of examples and screenshots, this is where your search ends.

Through detailed examples, it dives deeply into all aspects of Pentaho's reporting functionalities, providing you with the knowledge you need to master report creation. This book starts off with a number of examples to get you familiar with the tools and technology of the Pentaho Reporting Suite. Then, with additional examples, it goes into advanced subjects such as charting, sub-reporting, cross tabs, as well as API generation of reports. There are also details and examples on extending Pentaho's open source reporting engine.

I have used this book and the Pentaho Solutions book extensively to help with getting my Pentaho reporting solution up and running.For those new to Pentaho, there will be parts of this book that is more oriented to a programmer than Pentaho Solutions but there are still very valuable sections for the "non-programmer". I have found that both books work well together and on some topics getting each books explanation makes it clearer.

Muito bom, mas não tem nenhum segredo que não esteja disponível em sites que tratam de Pentaho. Vale a pena por já estar organizado. Mas seria mais interessante se houvesse atualizações para contemplar versões mais novas.
