The Data Warehouse Toolkit: The Complete Guide to Dimensional Modeling
whatever pioneer or genius he is in the DW industry, the book is pretty bad, i wouldn’t recommend it at all. the way he tries to convey concepts, explain techniques….
very bad organization, not clear but confusing sometimes, and very poor logical flow… he tries to make a big deal out of DW, when in fact it’s not such a fancy or intellect intensive subject. very simple concepts are even hard to understand. someone else would be able to write a book more powerful and straight to the point in 100 pages MAX, and be much more useful….
it sucks when leaders don’t know how to express themselves, maybe he was looking forward to have readers learn enough in DW to get projects started but not be able to do squat, and get some business from consulting…

This book does not cover the core dimensional topics.
Lot of unwanted topics like internet security etc has
simply made this book bulky.
Also the examples in Dimensional modeling is incomplete
living it up to the user to search other sources.
