Author Information about OLAP and Data Warehouse
Lev Valenzuela

2005-10-27, 7:27 am

Good Afternoon,

I want to learn about OLAP and DataWarehouse. In order to begin I bought
some books:

OLAP Solutions (Erik Thomsen).
Fast Track to MDX (Mark Whitehorn; Mosha Pasumansky; Robert Zare).
The Data Warehouse Toolkit (Second Edition. Ralph Kimball, Margy Ross).
The Data Warehouse ETL Toolkit (Ralph Kimball, Joe caserta)

I began with the book of OLAP Solutions (I am reading it at the moment).
Soon I want to begin with "Data Warehouse Toolkit". Later with "Data
Warehouse ETL Toolkit". Finally "Fast Track to MDX".

Is correct to follow this order?

Other books that i want to buy are:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services Step by Step (OLAP Train, Reed
Jacobson).
The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit : Expert Methods for Designing,
Developing, and Deploying Data Warehouses (Kimball).
MDX Solutions: With Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (George Spofford).

It is necessary to buy these other books?
What else do i need? (Software, Computer Requirements, etc)
Am I on the right path?

Thanks

*Excuse my English. I read very well, but at the time of writing I am
terrible.
