QlikView Resources - business-intelligence

I want to add Qlikview Development to my skill-set. I have a C# and SQl background. Are there any free online resources to getting me going at developer level not end-user? What's the best starting place for me and the level of difficulty involved.
I am looking for resources that can help me to expert level. One resource I found is the Udemy course and if anyone has done it please share your review of the course content.

You can find good videos on youtube (like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef_BigFXCis).
When you install qlikview, you have there a qlikview tutorial directory. Follow the pdf file and do everything on that pdf. it is very extensive, but after that you can start developing intermediate solutions. The PDF actually covers the whole QV official course.
After that, go to the qlikview cookbook site and start exploring more possibilities.
Find more blogs on QV and subscribe to them.
QV community is amazing. use it!
Qlikview is relatively easy to "get" at first, but don't be fooled by its simplicity - its a whole platform. I've been developing in QV 7 years now and still learn something new once in a while.
And I have to say it - its a very good choice! QV is amazing and very popular.
There isn't much I couldn't do with it.

eLearning website development by using PHP framework instead of an LMS like Moodle, eFront, etc

I want to develop an e Learning website where B.Tech students will come, explore the courses from various streams, see the videos, can take assessments, see their scores, improve their skills, can give their feedback, can chat with experts.
I do not want to use LMS like Moodle, eFront, etc.
How good it is if i use PHP framework like CodeIgnitor, CakePHP, Zend or YII?
Any advises & inputs will be highly appreciated.
It's very hard to answer without knowing exactly your system requirements, so I'll give you a general response regarding the preferred frameworks in 2015: http://www.sitepoint.com/best-php-framework-2015-sitepoint-survey-results/
As you can see, Laravel is the most popular framework nowadays, so you should be able to find a lot of resources/modules/components that may speed your development.
But then again, you may want to evaluate each of these frameworks against your requirements, your desired PHP version, performance in your servers and your PHP knowledge and select the framework that best fits you. To get you started, here's a sample review done by someone in 2013:

How to get contributors for opensource search engine

It's importance that the open-source solution is which many people need, and solution must be stable. Here's an simple strategy.

If online group getting larger, start to make a offline group.

Project management and bug tracking software [duplicate]

Project Management tool for bugs and projects together?
I've been looking for a service that offers bug tracking + project management and maybe a place where we can write ideas ( like an idea repository ).
We're a small start-up consisting of only 2 people ( developers ). We're looking for a free service, doesn't matter if it's hosted online or if we have to host it on our servers.
By the way, I've really looked a lot and I just couldn't find the perfect solution for us, so any help would be really appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
For such a small group you can get the atlassian software for something like 10$ I think. With Jira (Issue tracking) and Confluence (wiki) you would have a solid base to grow from.
GitHub is a good alternative to check. Does everything you asked for. There is a free option for open source projects, and you can pay for private repositories as well.
If you're looking for an idea repo, why not use an online note-taking site/program? Evernote is great for this as it also syncs with other computers, web, phones, etc. It arranges/categorizes them neatly, lets you take pictures.
For a quick and simple project management tool, I use Wedoist. It's really easy to set up; suitable for very small teams. You can use a tag/folder for bugs, and prioritize it if you wish. Almost no learning curve.

Cognos 8 Introduction

Being a programmer who likes all things terminal (like Vim and the GNU tools), I've finally met my match. The company I work for has decided to move from an in-house developed report generator to the Cognos suite.
We have had some informal meetings/workshops regarding the process of creating reports in Cognos, but I can't really make it stick on my non-GUI brain.
Does anyone know of any nice introductions or tutorial style documents explaining how to create projects in the Framework Manager and reports in Report Studio?
Better practice your mouse-moving muscles. :)
I came across this presentation, it is for Reportnet which is a pre-cursor to Cognos 8 but it is high-level enough to give you an accurate overview of how stuff works in Cognos.
There's a lot of content on IBM Developerworks
I really think you will like the old Cognos Multimedia Knowledge Base. They have stopped developing content for it (last C8 content is for version 8.1) but for an intro it will serve you well. Look at the Reportnet Stuff too, it is older but you will get a feel for "how stuff works" in Cognos.

More examples of Prism (Composite Application Library) Applications?

The examples that Microsoft's Patterns and Practices provides are quite helpful:
about a half-dozen simpler QuickStarts which touch on specific issues
the StockTrader reference implementation, which is a fairly rounded application
but it lacks a more useful base application that reads and writes to a data source (XML or database), allowing users to login, edit data, logout, etc. (something like what ASP.NET MVC comes with).
Since Prism applications can get quite complex and lengthy (the StockTrader example is almost 300 files without tests), it would be helpful to have an application that takes care of the CRUD bulk that everyone needs to build for most apps anyway.
Does anyone know of any data-editing Prism example apps out there?
Here (http://petedoesstuff.net/Blog/?p=79) you'll find a bunch of links to the samples of using the Prism.
Particularly, LateNight (http://code.google.com/p/cwpfsamples/) may be what you need. It has login screen and data editing functions.
Its feedback I've seen a lot of. I'll pass this onto the Team and see if we can get some more examples put online around this space.
I'm currently writing my own demo app now, so i'll also try and put that online via my blog.

The reason data access was left out of the Prism RI is because it is largely irrelevant to Prism. I would think you're better off looking at something like DinnerNow for those kind of things.
