Built by Developers,
for Developers
DataDevQuest is a community-driven initiative dedicated to helping Tableau developers master APIs through practical, hands-on challenges.
Why We Created DataDevQuest
Tableau has an incredibly powerful set of APIs, but the learning curve can be steep. Documentation exists, but there was no structured, community-driven path for developers to go from zero to proficient.
We started DataDevQuest to change that. What began as a small group of Tableau enthusiasts sharing coding challenges on Slack has grown into a thriving community of over 500 developers worldwide, all learning and building together.
Every challenge is authored by a community member, reviewed by peers, and designed to teach a real-world skill. We believe the best way to learn an API is to build something with it.
"The best documentation is a working example. That's what DataDevQuest is — a library of working examples, built by the people who use them."
// The DataDevQuest Team
Giving Back to the Community
Everything we build is free and open. We believe knowledge grows when shared, and every developer who contributes a challenge or helps a peer is making the entire Tableau ecosystem stronger.
Free Learning
Every challenge, tutorial, and resource is completely free. No paywalls, no premium tiers. Quality education should be accessible to all.
Open Community
Join our Slack channels to ask questions, share solutions, and connect with fellow developers. No question is too basic.
Open Source
All challenge code, solutions, and tools are open source. Fork, modify, and build upon the work of others.
