We've all had that 'aha' moment after installing an app on our mobile device, tablet, or browser - that sense of, 'Yes! It does exactly what I want, simply - and it just works.' At GoodData, we're working hard to provide that same 'aha' experience for our customers, partners, and developer community. We're doing this by delivering analytics apps with data intelligence capabilities far beyond what's possible using spreadsheets or visualization tools. These apps address pressing business needs, are simple to use and 'just work'. The purpose of this series is to enable you to leverage this powerful open platform and build amazing analytics apps of your own.
At GoodData we're passionate about connecting people to business data that helps them make better decisions. Core to this strategy is our multi-tenant Analytics App Platform which provides data integration, warehousing, analysis, reporting and dashboards through a single unified metadata layer and extensive REST API's. This is part 1 of a 3 part App building tutorial which demonstrates how to become a data hero for your organization by moving beyond visualizations and flat files to building Analytics Apps with deep ad hoc analysis capabilities.
