    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...?

      Hi, 

      Content of the video is deprecated so I wouldn't waste too much time on this one. 

      To be honnest with you. there aren't too many released tutorials and videos on how to create Power BI Visuals at this stage. You also have to be careful as a lot still deal with deprecated content, as the one you mentioned.


      Though you can stll have a look at Ted Pattison video:

      Developing Custom Visuals for PowerBI


      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDXm14lSfso

       

      That's over an hour though you'll find a segment explaining the basics of creating Power PB Visuals
      with Visual Studio Code and Power BI Visuals CLI tool. Ted has also provided a Github link at the end of the video in credits giving you access to source code used in his presentation.

      I'd say it's a good basic. If you're already comfortable with TypeScript and have worked
      with visualisation libraries like d3.js, then you can still have a look at what's done
      on Github [just enter PowerBI Visuals in search box :smileywink:.]
