Prerequisites

This course is for beginner IBM Streams users with some experience with the Python programming language. You will run your application in the IBM® Cloud using IBM® Bluemix®. No local installations of any kind are required.

You will need to create or log in to the following accounts:
• IBM Bluemix with Streaming Analytics service
• Data Science Experience (DSX)

All of the development will be done in a Python 3.5 notebook in IBM’s Data Science Experience with the real-time analytics performed by IBM Streams.

• You need two notebooks for this course:
  • The course exercise notebook, in which you will be developing your application
  • The course solution notebook that contains the completed applications for your reference

Additionally, you can consult the Python API reference documentation or the development guide.
