TL; DR

Course: A versatile introduction to Kafka from practitioners.

Two formats: study the video course alone or in a group. The group rules: 70% of those who started in the group go through the course to the end.

The nearest group starts on February 3 and ends on March 10. Now the course costs 60,000 rubles, from January 1, the price for passing in a group will increase to 70,000 rubles.

If you need to urgently complete the documents in order to use the 2021 budget for training, write to me in a personal, I will speed up the @Stan_ro process.

Now in more detail.

The authors created the course on Kafka based on what they themselves would like to know when they studied Kafka. This is a universal starter course.

Format

Group is a simultaneous start, simultaneous passage of the course and regular meetings in Zuma to discuss progress and tasks. The meetings are hosted by a curator who is not a Kafka expert; he himself will not answer technical questions, but he will be able to broadcast them to the course authors.

Price

Now the course costs 60 thousand. From January 1, the video course will still cost 60 thousand, the passage in the group will rise to 70 thousand. Most likely in 2022 the price will continue to rise.
