What is Birt Best Practice

m.motwakel@gmail.com

<p>Hello All,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am new to BIRT, i installed eclipse for BIRT but i found some boor components, during reading i found other BIRT based products such as ihub, Analytics Designer and F-Type</p>
<p> </p>
<p>i got confused what to start with as an open source product,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>please let me know what are the alternatives and  best products i need to go with as a development environment and server deployment</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Many Thanks,</p>
