-Apache Flink is an open source platform for distributed stream and batch data 
processing. Flink’s core is a streaming dataflow engine that provides data 
distribution, communication, and fault tolerance for distributed computations 
over data streams. Flink also builds batch processing on top of the streaming 
engine, overlaying native iteration support, managed memory, and program 
optimization.

 ## First Steps
 
-- **Concepts**: Start with the basic concepts of Flink's [Dataflow Programming 
Model](concepts/programming-model.html) and [Distributed Runtime 
Environment](concepts/runtime.html). This will help you to fully understand the 
other parts of the documentation, including the setup and programming guides. 
It is highly recommended to read these sections first.

 - **Quickstarts**: [Run an example program](quickstart/setup_quickstart.html) 
on your local machine or [study some examples](examples/index.html).
 
-- **Programming Guides**: You can check out our guides about [basic API 
concepts](dev/api_concepts.html) and the [DataStream 
API](dev/datastream_api.html) or [DataSet API](dev/batch/index.html) to learn 
how to write your first Flink programs.

 ## Deployment
 
-Before putting your Flink job into production, be sure to read the [Production 
Readiness Checklist](ops/production_ready.html).

 ## Migration Guide
 
-For users of earlier versions of Apache Flink we recommend the [API migration 
guide](dev/migration.html).
-While all parts of the API that were marked as public and stable are still 
supported (the public API is backwards compatible), we suggest migrating 
applications to the
-newer interfaces where applicable.
