I would like to thank the reviewers of this book for their valuable comments and suggestions. I would also like to thank the wonderful team at Packt for publishing the book and helping me all along.

I'd like to thank my son Matthew for his unending patience, and my Coton de Tuléar puppy Archie for his long walks. I'd also like to thank my parents, Margaret and Drew, for their incredible support for this globe-trotting single mother who isn't always the best daughter that they deserve. They are the parents that I want to be.

I'd like to thank the Microsoft teams for their patience and support; they deserve special recognition here. I am grateful for their love and support, and for generally humouring me when I go off and do another community venture focused on my passions for their technology and diversity in the tech community.

I'd like to thank Tableau: Bora Beran who kindly got in touch, Andy Cotgreave who keeps the Tableau community fun and engaging as well as educational, and the Tableau UK team for humouring me, too. I am seeing a pattern here.
