Ian Cooper - Kafka for .NET Developers

Ian Cooper joins us to talk about Kafka - a low-latency streaming solution with a rich ecosystem of tools such as Kafka Connect and Flink, but less well-known to .NET developers.

In this session we will introduce Kafka, explaining the mysteries of records, offsets, SerDes and schema registries, in-sync replicas, partitions and tools like Connect and Flink. There will be code, as we work with examples in .NET of using as a messaging solution in your applications. By the end of this session you should feel comfortable with the concepts required to use Kafka as a .NET developer.
