About this Presentation
Once you're familiar with the concepts of data warehousing, star schemas, cubes, and pivot tables, then it's time to dive in and look at how the tools really work. Continuing from the quick demos in Part I, this workshop session will have you building an actual ETL process with Talend Open Studio. This hands-on exercise will acquaint you with the tooling and solidify the concepts you've learned.
Be sure to bring a laptop (or pair with a friend who has one). You'll receive a VM image in “Learning Open Source Business Intelligence” if you attend it, or at the start of this workshop otherwise. This VM has all the tools we'll need pre-installed and ready to use.
