  • I am more impressed that she wrote on the invisible board backwards rather than about the Kafka itself. Bravo!
  • @DannyPhantumm
    This is clear and concise. Brilliant! Also, great use of the layered after-effects (animations, component boxes, etc.).
  • @shirokuma145
    Phenomenal presentation. The IBM developers break things down so perfectly and can really feel their passion for what they do.
  • @rockwithyou2006
    Above all, i love her skill of being able to write in mirror images so that we can easily read.
  • i wonder how well written her notes might be. Simply love her lectures ❤❤
  • @pilujander

    I've been using IBM courses to learn Data Engineering. I really appreciate this video and the ability to leverage these tools through IBM Cloud. 😊

    I so love IBM's lightboard experience, But wait who draws those images so nicely, doesn't seem like the same person writing, I think it takes more time than is shown in the video.
  • @moesmael
    Excellent explanation about what is Kafka?
  • @aisniper4095
    This was a very clear broad description of Kafka with great examples. Fantastic! Well done.
  • What was used to make this video? I really like how she's able to draw/write while facing the camera
  • @takurtime
    her videos are the best ones from the cloud series!
  • The most engaging presentation by the IBM technology. Thanks to the presenter and the technologist who did those interactive animations.
  • Excellent. This explains Kafka to a beginner like me in a way that is easy to understand.
  • @reemuskumar1
    Very quick, to the point introduction to Kafka.
  • @davemerkury
    Her backwards writing is on point! Good grief! The explanation is fire, but that writing skill is alien!
