Data Warehousing Fundamentals: A Comprehensive Guide for IT Professionals Review by Mark A. Lucas
Keep this Book at Your Desk-if you can afford it!
A great companion to books by Kimball and Inmon. Helps to clarify some areas where they may be vague or confusing. Includes info from other BI industry thought leaders. Used as a textbook at some universities. Loaded with diagrams and tables. Helps to bridge the gap between techies and management.
NOT as techy as Kimball so it won't lead you through a project or show you how to design databases, ETL or BI apps. A little more real-world examples than Inmon. Does not mention Inmon's CIF architecture by name, but it does explain a similar architecture.
A little too Expensive to buy without skimming through it first (go to a local book store and spend 30 to 60 minutes with it before you decide to order).
