I have all the Qlikview books published by Packt.
And after "QlikView 11 for Developers" (in my opinion the best Qlikview book yet) this come in 2nd place. "QlikView 11 for Developers" is a must read to anyone new in Qlikview, it has a lot of theory but not so many exercises.
On the other hand you also have "QlikView for Developers Cookbook" that is only exercises and examples... but zero theory.
This instead has a Mix of theory and practice. Has a lot steps by steps exercise regarding the visualization, and the properties of the different objets and charts used in Qlikview and has a lot of "good practices" or guideline about HOW data visualization should be.
Althought any people could read it and understand it... my advise is that first you get "QlikView 11 for Developers" and then read this one, It would be a lot easier.
If you are a Qlikview Designer wannabe I recommend this books for you.

This book is remarkable in that it describes a complete process of analysis activities and describes how to solve a particular problem. Along with descriptions how to build charts and visual elements Karl described the question about what type of chart is best to use in each case, what conclusions can be drawn, and how to do it effectively.
In fact author offered six rules for building any application:
1. use adequate labeling
2. convert color into data
3. add more detail
4. throw away chartjunk
5. respect usability
6. be honest
As a result, you will get a fairly complete picture of what and how you can build in QlikView, but the most important – what the business gets from its use.
In general, the book is excellent. I recommend it everyone to read. I think that novice developers will be able to understand exactly what the business needs. Professionals will be able to see other possible approaches as to how to make better do certain things, or even find something new.

I enjoyed reading this book. I think it’s a good introduction to data visualization using QlikView. The book explains us in a very easy way how to implement most of QlikView charts and how to apply data visualization best practices.
Some time ago I read QlikView for Developers Cookbook, this is a good QlikView book for technical experts and ‘Learning QlikView Data Visualization’ is a good book for business analyst who don’t have a strong technical background and also for beginners.
Business people who don’t want to develop complex code but need to present and share their data will find this book very helpful.

It's like playing a video game while everybody else around is working hard
