Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform, JavaScript run time environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser. Node.js comes with the Node Package Manager (NPM) that helps us install the required software.

We have now learned quite a lot and practice does make perfect. Please follow the links below and complete the various exercises to reinforce your knowledge and learned techniques.

No course can cover everything that you will require. The Web development space is huge, but we will talk about how you can maximize your learning on this course.

A lot of people look at visualizations and think that they can never build it, however, this could not be further from the truth. Once you see a data visualization, you can distil, sketch and design a bespoke visualisation that can be built in Tableau.

Once you have found some inspiration, we will go through the process of distilling this down to its fundamental parts. We will work on pen and paper, go through my process, and start sketching out our various possibilities for our bespoke data visualisation.

Check out the following tutorials for you to get through. Given you have come all this way and completed the course, you will be in a better place to understand how these bespoke data visualisations work, and hopefully, they will spark off your imagination.

An important first step is to set up your development environment. In this section, we have a series of videos to help guide you to install the required software and various packages (this is my decided set of tools). If you would prefer, you can download and work through the written installation guide attached in the resources.

We are going to complete our first layer of our Sunburst using additional Table Calculations to position our segments around the circle. We will need to move our segments around and make sure they are relative to each other.

Thank you for checking out our Course on Creating Tableau Extensions.

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.
