Chapter 1. Introduction to Alteryx
I love Alteryx. If you had told me 12 years ago that I was going to become so interested in Alteryx that I’d write a book about it to get more people interested in it, I would have probably laughed at you or thought you were making it up.
I now spend hours, every day, building workflows, helping others build workflows, scaling workflows, and helping Alteryx users and leaders around the world to realize the value of Alteryx. I have yet to get tired of helping others get started using this platform. It’s so fun to see the look on people’s faces as they start to “get it” and understand why many others and I find Alteryx to be an invaluable product.
In this chapter, I am going to introduce you to Alteryx Designer and even briefly introduce you to the Alteryx Analytics Cloud Platform (AACP). You will download, install, and activate Alteryx Designer on your computer. Then, you’ll learn about the supportive Alteryx community, which will give you a solid foundation on which to understand the rest of the concepts we’ll cover in this book. I hope you’re getting excited. Alteryx is extremely fun, and working with it can not only take your career to the next level but can also change people’s lives by bringing automated solutions to common problems.
