    Hi Nicolae,

     

    Sachin has created a nice tutorial on getting started and this is available on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gtxy5vJ6MI

     

    The documentation is rapidly evolving at the moment and you can be forgiven for not immediately finding what you need in order to progress - I think there's also some assumed knowledge in certain areas, but stick with it, you'll get there.

     

    Oh, just seen as I've been writing this that you posted around 3 weeks ago. How are you getting on now...?

The Official tutorial shows how to set up a project, not how to develop, it's missing some steps.

    The official tutorial describes how to use Power BI Custom Visuals API. Documentaion does not desribe specific dev steps as developers can use lots of different frameworks such as d3, React, Three.js, etc.

    It's impossible to cover all of aspects.

      It is however possible to explain the abstracts with the use of an example (d3).
