Temporal for Beginners: Durable Execution Fundamentals

Learn the fundamentals on how to create Durable applications using Temporal basics.

What you'll learn
- What is Temporal
- Why use Temporal
- How to install Temporal on your local machine
- How to orchestrate a Temporal workflow and view results

Requirements
- TypeScript experience
- Experience with distributed systems

Description
In this course, you will learn some of the basics of using Temporal to create Durable applications that continue to operate. The course is written in TypeScript and covers some fundamental concepts. It's not an advanced course for advanced users. However, it will be a very fast guide to learn how to use the technology on your local machine.

You will learn:

What is Temporal

How to install Temporal

Workflows, activities, workers

And you will use a few dummy apps to see Durable execution

You will make minor code changes.

By the end of the course, you will understand how to manage your own temporal workflows, create simple activities, start a temporal service, and view the execution of a workflow in Temporal UI.

Also, you will get an introduction to the Temporal CLI to install and manage the server.

This course is for:

Anyone who is trying to build robust applications that require durable execution, such as LLMs, AI applications, Agents, and message queues, among others.

Anyone looking to stabilize the performance of their distributed systems.

This course is not for:

Advanced Temporal users who have been using Temporal for more than a few days

Engineers looking to learn how to implement Temporal in a production-level system

Engineers looking for advanced solutions to distributed systems.

Who this course is for:
- Software engineers that are looking to build robust distributed systems
- Software engineers looking to learn Temporal
