Acaba de ser presentado un libro interesante, que además supone el paso al papel (al libro de toda la vida, del BI Open Source). Como véis, va llegando a todas partes. Se trata de Pentaho Reporting for Java Developers , (además, ya os anticipo que hay otro en la cocina que se está haciendo bastante interesante también, en este caso de origen europeo).
El libro ha sido realizado por Will Gorman (ingeniero de Pentaho), y ha contado con la ayuda, como no de Thomas Morgner (creador de Jfree report).
