| # Get Started with Apache Beam |
| |
| Learn how to use Beam to create data processing pipelines that run on supported processing back-ends. More learning resources are [here](https://beam.apache.org/get-started/resources/learning-resources/). |
| |
| You can also get a Beam badge now if you pass [this quest](https://beam.apache.org/get-started/resources/learning-resources/#certifications)! |
| |
| ## Tour of Beam |
| |
| [Learn Beam with an interactive tour](https://tour.beam.apache.org). |
| Topics include core Beam concepts, from simple to advanced. |
| You can try examples, do exercises, and solve challenges along the learning journey. |
| |
| ## Beam Playground |
| |
| [Beam Playground](https://play.beam.apache.org) is an interactive environment to try out Beam transforms and examples without having to install Apache Beam in your environment. |
| |
| ## Beam Overview |
| |
| Read the [Apache Beam Overview](/get-started/beam-overview) to learn about the Beam model, |
| the currently available Beam SDKs and runners, and Beam's native I/O connectors. |
| |
| ## Quickstarts for Java, Python, Go, and TypeScript |
| |
| Learn how to set up a Beam project and run a simple example Beam pipeline on your local machine. |
