New Course: Visualizing Data in Tableau 101
Kevin and I love to teach people how to use Tableau. We’ve been doing it via blogs, presentations, Tableau Community Forums, and conversations on social media for many years. But most of that content has been bite-sized. When we joined Moxy Analytics, we wanted to find a way to teach people in a more end-to-end fashion, so we started developing an introductory Tableau course. We’re super excited to announce that this course is now open for registration.

Visualizing Data in Tableau the Flerlage Way is taught by
both Kevin and me. We’ll introduce you to the power of data visualization, then
dive deep into Tableau, teaching you how to model your data, build insightful
charts, create user interactivity, write powerful calculated fields, and
present everything using insightful and well-designed dashboards. But the
training is not simply Tableau training. Working with Tableau requires an
in-depth knowledge of how to effectively visualize data. So, the course will
also teach key data visualization concepts including why we visualize data,
chart types and when to use them, effective use of interactivity, design
techniques, color usage, and many other best practices. The course is intended for
newbies just getting started with Tableau, self-taught users who wish to fill
in some gaps, or anyone who just feels they need a refresher.
The
course contains a whopping 21 hours of content provided over the course of six 3.5-hour
sessions. Our goal is to take you from beginner to intermediate as quickly as
possible (though that will also require a bit of practice on your part 😉).
