Best of the Tableau Web: It's all about community!

Welcome to the July edition of Best of the Tableau Web! As always, there’s a great variety of tips and tricks for every level. I particularly enjoyed the posts by Mike Cisneros and Colin Wojtowycz, as they both describe their experiences of getting involved in the Tableau community. I never cease to be amazed by the passion of our community, and I love the humility shown by people when they share their paths to where they are. If you’re thinking about getting involved in the community, I highly recommend you dive in and find your niche. Robert Crocker’s post provides one of the simplest templates to getting going!
