How to Use This Roadmap¶
The Rule¶
Do not try to finish every resource before building. Learn just enough to build the next artifact, then use the artifact to reveal what you do not understand.
Structure¶
| Level | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stage | A major skill area with a stage artifact and exit criteria |
| Part | A folder inside the stage that explains one major capability |
| Sub-part folder | A folder with an overview, deep dive, and examples/practice page |
| Exam | One 30-question HTML exam per part plus one global Exam UI |
The part and sub-part counts vary because the topics vary. A learner should not see the same artificial pattern everywhere.
Weekly Study Loop¶
- Pick the current part.
- Study each sub-part folder.
- Build the smallest artifact connected to the part.
- Measure one thing.
- Take the local part exam or use the global Exam tab.
