# Real-Time Intelligence - an introduction
If you want to start using Real-Time Intelligence capabilities, Kusto is the language to understand. Kusto allows you to use, amongst others, Azure Data Explorer, streaming data, and data from Log Analytics. The language seems to be a bit like SQL, but when things get rolling it can be confusing and hard to get right,
In this introduction session I cover the basics of the Kusto language and how to get started working with streaming, Log analytics and time-series data. I'll take a start from an introduction to the language, usable examples and implementations of different queries. I will also cover the method for working with scalar variables and window functions.
This is a level 100 session with a bit of level 200 at the end. A good session to get started with Kusto and is directed towards developers who are interested in the Kusto language and would like to get started.
