The topics, in plain language

  1. 01

    Your workspace

    The applications, folders and resources you use to create with AI.

  2. 02

    Files and folders

    Store instructions, references and deliverables in a way that makes it easy to resume work.

  3. 03

    Terminal and runtime

    The terminal is where you type commands to your computer. The runtime is what a project needs installed to run.

  4. 04

    Git and GitHub

    Git keeps the history of every change. GitHub stores that history online so you can share it. You learn how version control and collaboration work.

Why it matters

A good idea loses value when files, versions and instructions are scattered. This module sets up the basic organisation that keeps work moving.

What you will be able to do

  • Organise a project folder with a clear structure.
  • Explain what a version is and why it should be preserved.
  • Recognise the basic resources needed to start an AI project.

An everyday example

  2. Separate source materials, work in progress and deliverables.
  3. Record a change and find the previous version.
