What you’ll need
A text editor and modern browser; Python 3.10 or newer for the optional local lab. Basic JSON familiarity helps. Python standard library only; no API key or subscription. The lab is keyword retrieval and authored practice data, not a live AI service.
A versioned evidence workflow with reproducible evaluations.
Work through the exercises at your own pace and adapt the result to a task that matters to you.
How access works
