THE PROJECTS

Fourteen deliverables.
Every one earns its keep.

Every chapter ships one project. Every project takes a real apologetic question and turns it into rigorous code. Three difficulty tiers each; pick what suits you. The midterm (P8) and final (P14) are closed-book, closed-AI, 60-minute live exams.
