How this path works
11 lessons · 3h 30m total · 100% free
Sequenced topics take you from first concept to finished skill. Follow the order — every lesson assumes the previous one — and finish each phase before moving on. Each lesson ends with a mini project and a knowledge check so you always know you are ready for the next step.
Learn in order
Phases build on each other — no skipping ahead.
Practice as you go
Every lesson has hands-on work, not just theory.
Prove it
Mini projects and checks mark what you've mastered.
