How to study

Do not skip the real output. First predict it, run the code with Python, compare your result, explain each line, then complete the exercises. The eight core stages contain 118 compact demonstrations plus 14 detailed beginner lessons; advanced chapters are starting points for deeper specialist study rather than full university-length chapters.
