    Dear group,

    I have just finished reading this book and would like to give you a short, personal impression:
    I already had gathered some experience using PDI (doing some rather small database synchronizations along with
    pulling data from LDAP Servers)

    The first chapters didn't contain many new information for me, nevertheless, they provided some more details
    which I didn't come accross during "learning by using PDI".
    I especially like the chapter about the "Modified JavaScript" Step, which is one of the most powerfull steps IMHO.

    The last few chapters about the datawarehouse stuff and the combination of the jobs/transformation (especially
    the sub-transformation stuff) were really interesting!

    All in all: Great work, I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with PDI (be it a new user or someone
    who already has gathered some experience).

    Cheers,

    Tom
