Curriculum map

The path moves from mental models to a governed end-to-end delivery.

[!TIP] Need an explicit order rather than a map? Use Learning order and scope. It distinguishes the first required steps, optional language/scenario choices, advanced prerequisites and the evidence needed before moving on.

Legend. Grouped boxes are curriculum levels; individual boxes are adventures. Solid arrows indicate the suggested first-pass learning order.

Explanation. Later adventures build on earlier concepts. The hands-on companion track is separate and retains numbered professional exercises rather than adding fantasy adventures.

[!TIP] Follow the levels in order on a first pass. On later passes, repeat one lab in a different harness and compare the evidence rather than the fluency of the response.

Use the Glossary for terminology and the Feature Status Matrix before relying on availability-sensitive capabilities.

A separate hands-on path

The Hands-on Labs complement this adventure path without adding fantasy stories. Choose that catalog for C#/Python application work, engineering exercises, or Spec Kit greenfield, brownfield and modernization. Its audit report records the source-level improvements and verification boundaries.
