@Anonymous,

 

It is well explained at https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-custom-visuals-getting-started-with-developer-tools/. Double check Inside the visual project and Package your visual for use in Power BI Desktop and distribution.

 

To add a custom visual to a report in Power BI Desktop, see https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-custom-visuals-use/.

Hi,

 

I haven't seen too many recent updated informations unfortunately. Most online demos and videos I found dealt with

'deprecated' versions. Though you can have a look at both videos below which should  give you a good basic understanding.

 I would also recommend having at least a good basic understanding of D3.js and TypeScript.
Last but least... Practice... practice... and oh did I forget to mention? Practice...

 

Hope this helps.
