Study Tips

For Each Module

1. Read first - Start with the conceptual guide in docs/
2. Practice second - Run the lab exercises in module-X/
3. Experiment - Modify configurations and observe changes
4. Review - Re-read documentation with practical context

For Hands-on Skills

1. Complete all lab exercises - Don't skip!
2. Break things intentionally - Learn to troubleshoot
3. Build variations - Modify exercises to solve new problems
4. Document your learnings - Keep notes

Example Study Workflow

# 1. Read the conceptual guide (Git for Teams)
cat docs/module-01/git/README.md

# 2. Navigate to the lab
cd module-01/git

# 3. Practice Git workflows
# Create a practice repository, branches, merges, etc.

# 4. Read AWS guide
cat docs/module-01/aws/README.md

# 5. Navigate to the lab
cd ../aws/localstack

# 6. Start the lab environment
docker compose up -d

# 7. Practice the exercises
aws --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4566 s3 mb s3://my-bucket

# 8. Clean up
docker compose down -v
