Best tips:

 

1. Annotate your work as you go along. This will save you huge headaches when you go back to troubleshoot. 

2 .If you get stuck search the Alteryx community and you will almost always find a solution. If not, make a post and someone will help.

3. Alteryx is pretty efficient with large data sets as is, but you can cache and run your workflow as you build if you are dealing with big data sets to speed up development time.
