Apache Flink Hands-On

Join our second meetup for a hands-on seminar on Apache Flink!

In this meetup, you will learn how to quickly get Flink up and running and how to use its high-level APIs to build big data analytics applications.

We will use the training material provided by data Artisans (http://data-artisans.com/index.html), big thank you to them!
