The code series
Every guide builds the same small app: CheckMate, a task tracker you write yourself. Foundations gets it running — installed, querying, styled, clickable, committed. Level 2 makes it real — a database behind it, an interface on top, structure you can defend, and a deploy that happens on its own.
That is why the guides aren't interchangeable with a free tutorial. Each one picks the app up exactly where the last one left it, so nothing you learn is stranded on its own.
See the whole shelf →The At Work set
This set builds something smaller and more ordinary: the Friday update you send from a folder of files. Files arrive, a script tidies them, the numbers get pulled out of whatever they came in, a draft gets checked against them, the page gets built, and the whole thing runs on a schedule.
No app to maintain, no account to keep, nothing that needs a server. Five guides for the part of a job that is the same every week, written for people who will never code professionally.
