Working method

Use the roadmap as a lab notebook.

  1. Set aside 45 to 90 minutes for each session.
  2. Practice the task rather than only reading about it.
  3. Make one useful output each week.
  4. Keep notes on what works for your own workflow.

Use the sequence

The path is cumulative. Each week builds on a working habit, not a collection of disconnected demos.
