Excellent step-by-step explanations September 30, 2008
Love this book. Written mostly in plain English (for those of us who are not techies).. it also provides sections were it deciphers technical acronyms and concepts.

The first edition, while very valuable and still relevant was getting long in the tooth - it was published 10 years ago. This book remains pragmatic and useful for just about every role assoiciated with the data warehouse and business intelligence. My favorite chapter is on Collecting the Requirements but you will find sections that will make a difference in your DW/BI project implementation and sustainance.
A must read for all DW/BI professionals January 23, 2008

Another awesome book by the Kimball Group. This 2nd edition is a great improvement over the original with lots of new material and new spins on old material.
This is a must read for anybody claiming to be a DW/BI Professional.
