ABSTRACT
The hardest part of learning Temporal is unlearning the old way of doing things, so let’s start with a blank canvas and build from the ground up. During this session, you’ll learn to think in Temporal by watching an application come together one piece at a time. You’ll discover how to map business requirements to Temporal’s core features, preparing you for success with your own applications.
