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.
