Well-structured dive from basic to complex

Nicely done introduction into developing Splunk apps and add-ons, this is a solid entry point for anyone wanting to get started with big data in the Splunk ecosystem.

This book might be useful to someone who knows all about Splunk already and needs a refresher, but is utterly useless for someone who is trying to learn it. Most of the times it has not been explained as to how to get around to do the things the author wants us to do. The writing is very sketchy, keeps randomly changing course. Nothing has been explained properly.
