So my lack of Javascripting knowledge will that be an hindrance to me developing the custom visual tools? i wil greatly apprciate if you can point me to basic java links
One of the biggest barriers to entry for data folks is the fact that custom visuals require a transition into web development. If you've used C#, TypeScript adds some features to JS you'll be familiar with but a solid understanding of JS will help a lot with stuff that isn't specific to the custom visuals SDK.
From a quick seach and overview, any of the following should get you into the basics:
- https://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp
- https://www.codecademy.com/learn/introduction-to-javascript
- https://www.learn-js.org/
- https://javascript.info/
As the custom visuals SDK utilises, Node.js, you might want to have a look at how that works in the solution too.
