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.
