Pentaho BI 101 - Getting Started Series

As part of the first series on the DWBI Pub channel on YouTube, I have started to cover the Pentaho BI getting started series. The motive is to help people scale up to Open Source technologies, learn and contribute to real world projects.

As part of the getting started series, I would cover all aspects of Pentaho Business Intelligence and then take each component at a time and help people learn and deliver on real world projects. I hope to share as well as increase my knowledge while working on this series.

Need for Learn and Share in DWBI world

As open source technologies are maturing, I always feel that the resources available to learn are very dispersed which is why beginners who are not able to find the right mentors often find it hard to figure out where to start. The reason for this is simple. Most of the open source punters are often too occupied to learn and are not able to find time to share their learnings with the world.

While working as a Practice Lead and Architect at YoungSoft Inc., I always feel that there is interest in people to learn new technologies but often people like us are not free to train them or help them. Thus, I have created a channel on YouTube as DWBI Pub and have started sharing my knowledge with the world.

As part of my attempt to get more people aware about BI and related technologies, the first part of the video series involve getting started with Pentaho. Later I also plan to cover my encounters with Informatica, Big Data technologies like Hadoop, Hive etc., Visualization tools like Yellowfin and many others.

Another purpose of starting this channel is also to exchange knowledge with the best in the industry and have their valuable feedback and comments.
