Hello Everyone, *If you are new to Beam please consider yourself a welcomed participant in this conversation. At the end of this email is a longer explanation to help understand this email. I love talking about Beam so feel free to reach out to me if anything isn't clear and not knowing what to ask is welcome as well.*
*Short Version (For those who know Beam)*: I'm writing to query initial feedback on a table of contents slide [1]. Did I miss any topic? For the Beam Summit [2], I submitted a talk called "A practical guide to Schema | Java SDK Edition" where I aim to walk the audience practically through various Beam Schema how-tos. *Long Version (For those who identify on the Beam learning path)*: The purpose of this email is to get feedback on a single table of contents slide [1] for a Beam Summit [2] talk. Beam is a framework for large scale processing of data. A Schema [3] unifies how various steps in a Beam pipeline describe the structure of data being processed. Data in our pipelines described by a Schema are called Schema-aware. In addition to talking about how to create a Schema, the talk aims to practically illustrate powerful features of Schema-aware pipelines. To understand a Schema, it is recommended to read the Beam Programming Guide [4] up through section 6. Best, Damon *Definitions / References*: 1.
