As the book's subtitle says, the book focuses on Tableau Server from a developer's view (i.e., not Tableau server admin).For a Tableau developer, the topic might not be fascinating. However, accessing, sharing, and managing content is often a crucial part of developing dashboards in real life and the new Tableau certification (Tableau Certified Data Analyst).I love the author's eye for detail. For example, which functions to use for row-level security (see image). That's the knowledge that is hard to find in any other place.

As a Product Owner, being able to speak to the functionality of analytical tools built in Tableau and published to Tableau Server goes a long way in terms of enhancing user adoption. That’s where this book has really shined for me.Delivering products to a large variety of stakeholders means that presentation of the product will require the flexibility to tailor your presentation to each audience of end users. To that end, understanding the functionality offered by Tableau Server is crucial. By leveraging what I’ve learned in this book, I’ve been able to walk stakeholders through tools delivered and published on Tableau Server, in essence, helping them “learn to fish” and enabling Tableau Server to become a self-service tool rather than an interface.While I found the book in its entirety to be greatly informative throughout, I found the most value for my role in the chapters, “The Tableau Server Navigation Pane”, “Filtering and Sorting Content”, “Interacting with Views on Tableau Server”.“Interacting with Views on Tableau Server” is frankly worth the purchase of the book alone, in my opinion, if for no other reason than assisting stakeholders in troubleshooting issues/concerns that are often brought to my attention. 9/10 times, these issues tend to be either user error or just an overall lack in understanding how Tableau Server functions. So many questions are answered by the “Examining Subscriptions” and “Examining Alerts” sub-sections of this chapter!Having a better understanding of how Tableau Server works also assists me as a Product Owner in the sense that I can bring more probing or proactive questions to the stakeholders during our work intake sessions so that our developers have more clarity in understanding the requests when it comes to our Backlog Refinement and Sprint Planning meetings.Even without having the contents of this book fully memorized, it is turning out to be an outstanding reference tool for questions that I have had as well! I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to know how to maximize the potential provided by Tableau based analytical tools!

As a new Tableau user, I found this book incredibly useful. The book holds a wealth of content in a straightforward format. I could find the information I was looking for quickly and efficiently, particularly in the chapter regarding interacting with views. I enjoyed the simplistic, yet effective writing style of the authors. I highly recommend this book.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
