Before You Begin
Section 3
Setting Up Your Environment
This is an example-driven course, and we will be creating a bunch of example projects.
You will learn installing Confluent Kafka Cluster on a Windows 10 machine and on a Mac machine. However, some of you may already have access to a local or remote Confluent Kafka Cluster. You can use the same to run all the examples and exercises from this course and skip the installation process. Most of the coursework is done from inside the IDE, and it works in the same way on the Mac and Windows platforms. However, some videos that are specific for Windows will have Windows explicitly mentioned in the video title. Similarly, Mac-specific videos will have Mac in their title.
If you are using a Windows machine, you can skip the video titled for Mac.
Similarly, Mac users can safely skip the video titled for Windows.
