Kafka client for Dart
Digging into this a bit, I guess the fastest way would be to use librdkafka via Dart FFI. It's what Confluent uses in their Node.js example. That way you only have to worry about the FFI parts.

A few starter questions: What is a good setup for learning? Is Confluent platform ok?
Are you getting ahead of yourself to use Kafka Connect? No, definitely not! Kafka Connect is part of Apache Kafka so you're just learning more Kafka :) The connector plugins vary in author and licence. There is a mixture of vendor and community-written plugins. The Twitter one you found is great - I've used it in the past several times for projects. If you want another set of code to look at using it there is this repo here and related blog
should I be reading a different material for a first Kafka project and working with a different kind of setup? Now, I can't be unbiased on this one ;) One of the things we're doing with Confluent Developer is to try and create a resource for people to learn Kafka from the ground up, whether they ultimately decide to pursue it on Confluent or not. The fundamentals of Kafka that you'll be learning are going to be as applicable whether you're using Apache Kafka self-managed, or Confluent, or AWS' MSK, or whatever else. Personally I'd this stage I'd use whatever setup you find easiest and least friction to your learning journey. As u/louisvell mentioned, /u/stephanemaarek's courses on Udemy are also very popular, if you wanted a "second opinion" on how to approach learning Kafka.
