In the first part of this series, we will get started by installing and setting up the development environment (and relevant tools), getting the Tableau Web Data Connector (WDC) Library and integrating with GitHub for your storing and sharing your projects.

Note: If you are a seasoned programmer, then the quickest way to get started is to go to the official Tableau documentation at. In this series, we are going to build our own Tableau Web Data Connectors by introducing you to programming as well as the Tableau Web Data Connector JavaScript library. In these edge cases, Tableau has provided the Tableau Web Data Connector (WDC) that allow developers to build our own data source connectivity. However, sometimes we may have a bespoke data source, a legacy data source, or perhaps an extremely bleeding edge data source, which may not be supported out of the box by any tool.

One of the top features of Tableau is that they provide out-of-the-box connectivity to a variety of common data sources the number of supported data sources is increasing with every release of Tableau.
