Hands-On Exercises

The exercises are structured into three activity levels:

1. In-class activities These are exercises you should complete first during our synchronous class sessions.

2. Reference & Additional Practice These sections provide more detailed command references and code snippets. Work through them if you finish the in-class activities early, and outside of class to consolidate your learning. Completing these practice exercises will prepare you for the labs, quizzes, and final project.

3. Advanced Topics (Optional) In this section you can explore specific topics in more depth. Working through this content is optional and is not required to complete labs, quizzes, or the final project.
