Data Warehouse Lifecycle in Depth
I’m starting to get excited about next week. I’m leaving Brussels for Amsterdam at about 5pm on Monday to attend a four day course at Kimball University. Subject: The Data Warehouse Lifecycle in Depth. Instructors: Margy Ross & Warren Thornthwaite. I’m looking forward to diving into the DW Lifecycle with industry experts: those who literally wrote the book. Ralph Kimball won’t be there but I trust that Margy and Warren will give us a great week of sessions.
What’s really, really cool is that I’ll be getting the new edition of “The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit“:
What better way to start 2008 than with a major new data warehousing book! Joy, Warren, Margy, Bob and I have been working on the second edition of The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit for most of the last year. Virtually every paragraph of the first edition was changed, and more than 60% of the book is new material. The happy looks on our faces are both pride in our new baby, as well as relief from a long writing and editing stint.
I plan on blogging from the event, so if anyone is interested in getting some insight on any of the sessions, please let me know. I’ll be sure to take especially good notes!
