A list of tutorials that I made on windows.
They were my path to learn Kafka
Most of the tutorial on the confluent website are working only on Linux. When you try to follow them directly on Windows, you see quickly that it will not work. For instance, the confluent utility was not yet available on Windows. To resolve this issue, all the tutorial are launching Kafka through Docker Container that runs on Linux. It may add a little bit more complexity but you will then be able to start multiple node.
