Who Should Attend
Application Developers and Architects who want to write applications that interact with Apache Kafka.

C# and Python clients will also be used in some options for labs.
Prerequisites
Attendees should be familiar with developing professional apps in Java (preferred), C#, or Python. Additionally, a working knowledge of the Apache Kafka architecture is required for this course.
