Recommended sequence

• Items marked read are to be completed before the beginning of the next item, but may be begun before the prior item.
  • It may be easier to break up reading and start early, interspersing with tutorials.
• When a tutorial is marked do, re-write all code.
  • Do not download sample code.
  • Do not copy-paste.
  • If necessary, running from within a provided repo is necessary as long as it is solely in the interest of duplicating behavior to be expected from the already re-written repo.
• When an item is marked explore, consider the following:
  • Re-implement examples but with modifications.
  • Create your own new examples using the provided library/framework.
  • Read whatever seems interesting!
