I just finished reading "Business Intelligence with Looker Cookbook" by Khrystyna Grynko. The guide comprehensively covers every aspect of Looker, but it could benefit from more tips on speeding up processes, especially when using Looker ML models. I revised several familiar concepts and learned about new features, such as embedding Looker into external websites and integrating it with platforms like Google Sheets and Looker Studio. However, I missed information on integrating with Gemini. Overall, it's a must-read for mastering Looker and streamlining data visualization processes.

I read it cover to cover, to remind myself of all the options out there. I wanted to make sure I don’t forget something essential when working on Looker design and guidelines for my organisation. For me, the little suggestions alog the lines of “ususally this functionality can be used for…” were very helpful to get me thinking about how I want to do things.Thinking back on how I first started learning Looker, this book would have been useful. It does start from the very beginning of how you get started, but then goes on to cover most of the functionality. Meaning, you’ll be able to do more than someone who just completed a 1-hour “getting started” tutorial. And, you will have a solid understanding of the big picture of what the tool offers and where your own work stands relative to the full offering.It’s a reasonably quick read: it describes what you can do, shares an example and moves on to the next thing. If you have any previous experience with any other BI tool, but you want to learn a new tool, this book will be perfect for you. It’s probably not a book you can use to learn data and business intelligence from scratch, especially if you’re not very tech savvy.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
