Re: Tour of Beam - an interactive Apache Beam learning guide

[Kerry Donny-Clark via user]

Sounds good to me, working on it now. The current content is all notebooks,
I will move them around into other learning materials sections and update
the names to change "tour of beam" language.

We already have a Beam Overview there.
https://beam.apache.org/get-started/tour-of-beam/ contains some good Colab
notebooks, which mainly are just for Python. I suggest we link this to
https://tour.beam.apache.org/ but move the current content under Python
Quickstart.

+1, I got confused when I first tried to navigate.

Given these examples in the former are all going to be in Colab notebooks,
I propose we name it something like "Colab Examples".

Re: Tour of Beam - an interactive Apache Beam learning guide

[Kerry Donny-Clark via user]

Thanks for bringing this up Austin. I noticed this as well when I tried to
search Google for "Tour of Beam". I propose we rebrand the get started Tour
as "An Intro to Beam", or "An Overview of Beam".  I'll put up a draft PR
today, and update this thread so folks can comment and review.

Some of you may not know this, but this is my personal dream project. Soon
after joining Google I thought "beam is hard to learn." I had learned Go
through the excellent "A tour of Go ", and I
wished there was something like that for Beam. A series of clear
explanations, with runnable code, and an invitation to play around and
extend the examples. I wrote up a proposal, and I've worked closely with
Alex and his team to execute this vision. The Tour of Beam has delivered on
this dream 110%. I wish this had been around when I was learning Beam, and
I am very happy that new Beam users can get great explanations and examples
