suggestions on Web Intelligence 4.x books, for best learning

[Former Member]

We are in the process of selecting a vendor to help us move from XI 3.1 to BI 4.x, and I wanted to get a jump start on Web Intelligence 4.x learning.

I've been doing WebI XI 3.1 for about 10 months, decent exposure during that time. In consideration of the following courses, I was thinking maybe do some book training (which I like) for the first course

BOW310 - Web Intelligence - Report Design I (2 days)

BOW320 - Web Intelligence - Advance Report Design (2 days)

I found this book which looks decent. Any ideas if there is a 4.2 book coming out soon ?

I'm at the point where I need to start looking at this, so waiting is not an option, unless the 4.2 book is out in a month or so.

Thoughts ?

      If you feel the training course are too much, you always buy the SAP Press book.

Ajay, thank you, very helpful, especially the tutorials.

Since 4.2 books aren't available, and I want to get started now, what's the downside of using a 4.1 book when we'll likely install 4.2 ? It seems like the delta of 4.1 to 4.2 is a lot less than the delta of my XI 3.1 knowledge to BI 4.1.

4.2 book not available until next year . . .

We are working on a book for 4.2 version, however it will not be readily available. It is currently on our 2017 project list which is subject to change. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
