Vlog #6: Data Night Out & Iron Viz, Conference Day 3 (Tableau conference 2016) #data16

0:00Good morning, it's day three and firstly

0:04yesterday, yesterday was like nothing else.

0:08The three year vision from Tableau,

0:10developers on stage and they were just

0:13showcasing feature after feature after

0:16product after product.

0:17It was nuts and then the sessions during

0:19the day, wow those were great too.

0:22So yesterday probably ranks right up at the

0:24top as one of the best days I've had in

0:26conference.

0:27That includes Seattle and Las Vegas. So all

0:30out amazing yesterday.

0:32So that means today's got a hard act to

0:34follow. Now what today has running for it

0:37is the party, the day to night out.

0:38So that's a party that Tableau put on every

0:40single year, midway through conference.

0:43A good way of having fun, socializing and

0:45just getting together with all your friends

0:47and the community.

0:49I've also got a full day of sessions set

0:52out so that's going to be cool.

0:55Getting more technical today, looking a lot

0:56of the developer track.

0:58And then this morning we've actually got

1:00the keynote from Shankar Vendantum from NPR

1:03.

1:03So these keynotes are amazing. These are

1:05guest speakers that come from other sort of

1:07science and technology backgrounds.

1:10And some authors sometimes and essentially

1:12they just talk about data in a really

1:14exciting way.

1:15And some of the speakers in the past have

1:16been absolutely amazing.

1:18I personally love Neil deGrasse Tyson so I

1:20'm hoping Shankar delivers this morning.

1:24The keynote is actually in about 50 minutes

1:27and I'm still in the Airbnb flat so I

1:30really need to get going.

1:31Otherwise I'm going to get an awful seat.

1:33Today's going to be jam packed. I'm going

1:35to try and record as much of it as I

1:37possibly can and I'll see you soon.

1:39Also I completely forgot, this guy is

1:42President of the United States.

4:25Okay, so the day to night out was great. It

4:28's 10 o'clock

4:29I think it's just ending but I left a

4:31little bit early because I've got a session

4:33first thing tomorrow

4:34that I want to be sharp for but Tableau did

4:37it again. They put on a great party

4:39Festival atmosphere great setup great food

4:43great music obviously great people all

4:46together in an amazing

4:47Sort of space that really lends itself to

4:50that it was great

4:51They even had a roller disco inside the

4:54event center and they even had some smoked

4:56barbecue stuff being done outside

4:58And they did some whole sort of setup with

5:01these colored trees

5:02The gig was awesome. They got the band was

5:06really energetic really lively the

5:08highlight today was the

5:09Tableau lab it was just amazing so

5:11basically the Tableau lab was this setup

5:14where they had

5:15devs around the room who all build

5:18different parts of the products or are

5:19developing different parts of the products

5:21and

5:21they basically had

5:23Something to show you and they'd show it to

5:26you and then having seen it you then get to

5:28give feedback and

5:29Showing it to you before getting the

5:31feedback provoked you to think about the

5:34tool in a really really interesting way

5:36So I really enjoyed it. I gave lots of

5:38feedback about dashboards actions filters

5:41Reference lines I even got some business

5:43cards to continue the discussion later on

5:46so absolutely loved it. I also went to the

5:51Expo Hall Expo Hall one and looked at the

5:53mobile development stuff there having had

5:56that conversation and again

5:57lots of great feedback about rolling out

5:59Tableau mobile for enterprise a few tweaks

6:02They can make to it to make a little bit

6:04easier to work with

6:05And also some of their thinking because you

6:07see the thing is when Tableau build a

6:10product the developer is

6:11In in the tool they have a vision for how

6:14the tool should be used

6:16But of course we all get the product and we

6:18follow the user manual and sometimes

6:20between the developer the designer

6:23The user manual and you playing with it the

6:27actual intention of the tool

6:29changes and so for example

6:31favorites in the mobile app now I

6:35Typically use them to show people an easy

6:38way to develop their own custom home pages

6:42Having had the discussion with the

6:43developer today. That's not what they

6:45actually intended it to be useful

6:47They intended it to be used for an easy way

6:50to collect your favorite reports. No matter

6:52what it is

6:53So it's really interesting to have that

6:55discussion and whilst that's essentially

6:57the same thing

6:58The sentiment is very slightly different

7:00and if you were to then enhance that

7:02further then you could end up

7:03enhancing a

7:06Sentiment that people don't necessarily

7:08connect with so anyway. I was just amazing

7:11I mean that's that's a geek talk right

7:12there, but

7:13It was really cool. I loved it. Absolutely

7:15loved it. Please do that again

7:17In fact, I'd love a Tableau lab to be

7:19online and just constantly having stuff in

7:21beta and now for and just doing stuff all

7:23the

7:23Time I know Zen's do this, but I'd love

7:26that to be like a thing for the wider the

7:28community as well

7:29I think I'll be awesome

7:31last but not least

7:33The sessions today. I had a bit of a had to

7:35change my schedule a little bit

7:37So sometimes you choose a schedule and you

7:40realize oh, no, this this is this isn't

7:43just this isn't just right

7:44So I basically halfway through the day. I

7:46just changed my schedule. So I changed my

7:48first

7:48Session anyway, because I had to and then

7:51the second one I changed I just went to a

7:54different talk all together

7:55Had lunch then in the afternoon. I skipped

7:58a session to go to the tableau lab because

8:00that will have seemed more valuable

8:02I'd actually seen what I needed to see that

8:06made the second session not so worthwhile

8:08And then having had that session

8:11I

8:11Basically spend the afternoon talking to

8:13devs

8:13That was more valuable to me and then last

8:15but not least I got to see vis alerts and

8:17vis alerts was great

8:18So all in all I got to see quite a few cool

8:21things

8:21Really really loved it. So

8:24Amazing day wasn't quite as good as day one

8:28the keynote and devs on stage really really

8:30topped the list

8:31but

8:33given there wasn't a keep well, there was a

8:35keynote and

8:35In terms of the day starts out tableau

8:38nailed it in terms of the tableau labs

8:40You nailed it in terms of the devs. They

8:43nailed it

8:43Just everything came together today loved

8:46it

8:46I'm not quite as good as day one the

8:49keynote and devs on stage, especially devs

8:52on stage was awesome, but

8:53What else can you ask for?
