Building your first workflow
In this section, we show you how to build your first workflow for data access, data preprocessing, and visualization. You will learn all the necessary workflow-building skills to follow along with the more complex analysis tasks in the upcoming chapters.

- Reading and transforming data
- Filtering rows
- Visualizing data
- Building a custom interactive view
