All exercise files start with an introduction followed by the actual exercise.

A general overview of the exercise is given first, followed by more detailed step-by-step instructions. If you want a little challenge, you can try to read the general steps of the exercise and do the exercise, if you need more help, take a look at the step-by-step instructions. The step-by-step instructions also explain why some of the steps are done in the way they are in the exercise.

Each exercise is summarized in bold text at the beginning.

• All exercise steps are bulleted. The bulleted points summarize the previous paragraphs as small individual tasks. To finish the exercise, it's sufficient to read only the bulleted steps. All other text is just narrative and explanations as to why things are done the way they are.

Quoted blocks indicate points that are "nice to know" and can be safely ignored. They won't affect the outcome of the exercise, but generally include additional information the training doesn't handle.

💡 If a quoted paragraph begins with a lightbulb, it indicates that it's a hint for the exercise step.
