In this lecture, we are going to look into the drawing curved lines using the SIN() Function. We will use Data Densification, Table Calculations and the SIN() function to draw this data visualisation. This lecture will help cement our knowledge on the techniques presented.

We are going to explore a Sunburst Chart. We will look at when could it be used, what use cases could it be appropriate for and, more importantly, when not to use it.

At this point we have installed various applications, tools and packages. In the next section, we will be putting this to work and developing our first Tableau Extension.

Let us start by downloading the latest Tableau Extension API from the GitHub. Note that this course was built using version 1.3.0

Git is a free and open-source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning-fast performance. We will use Git and GitHub to save our work.

We have covered a lot of grounds and have learned some of the available core techniques that we require to build bespoke data visualisations. So let us review.

We are going to talk about the various sources of inspiration that is at your disposal. You can find inspiration anywhere you look, you just have to pay attention, be aware, be open and let it come to you.

In this section, we are going to develop our first Tableau Extension, although, it will not do much for now, we will build our skeleton and make use of all the installed applications, tools and packages.

Hello, my name is Toan Hoang, and I am going to be your instructor for this course on Creating Bespoke Data Visualisations in Tableau. So let me introduce myself.

YARN is a package manager that we will use to obtain our external libraries. Yarn caches every package it downloads so it never needs to download it again. It also parallelizes operations to maximize resource utilization so install times are faster than ever.
