These lessons are not written yet. This page exists so you can see the whole arc before deciding whether the first level is worth your time. Level 1 is the one being written now.
What this level is for
By the end of Level 2 you can direct a tool through a real project. Level 3 is about making that repeatable: working from the command line, and writing the files that tell the tool how you work, so the second session goes like the first one did.
What it will cover
The subjects, in the order they are likely to be taught:
- The command line as the place this work actually happens, for someone who has avoided it so far.
- Instruction files: what belongs in them, what does not, and why a rule nobody reads is worse than no rule.
- Splitting work so a session can end and another can pick it up cold.
- Automating the checks you keep forgetting to run.
- Building your own small set of repeatable procedures, and knowing when an existing one is the better answer than a set you maintain yourself.
What it will not do
Turn you into a systems administrator. Everything here is in service of finishing your own projects; depth beyond that point is a different subject and this site will send you elsewhere for it.
Where this stands
The lesson list above is the planned shape, not a published curriculum. It gets its own planning pass once Level 1 is finished.
