  1. Learn PowerShell

    The command line that thinks in objects. Start from your very first command and learn variables, cmdlets, conditions, arrays, loops, hashtables and functions, then meet the pipeline that makes PowerShell famous: filtering, shaping and measuring whole collections of objects in a single line. Finish by building a working battle engine for your gotchi. No Windows machine required: everything runs in the browser.

  2. PowerShell Scripting & Automation

    Turn one-liners into tools. Build real scripts with parameter blocks and validation, wrangle files, CSV and JSON, hunt through text with regular expressions, and learn the error-handling and idempotency habits that separate a script you ran once from automation you can trust. Ends with a complete log-triage tool for the Codeweald fleet.

  3. Learn Git

    Every expedition into the Codeweald keeps a chronicle, and the chronicle keeper's tool is git. Learn to snapshot your work, read and rewrite history, branch and merge fearlessly, untangle conflicts, and publish to a shared chronicle. Real git, real repositories, graded on the spot.

    How Windows actually works, for people who will run it.

Finish with a full sick-server troubleshooting capstone.

  5. Find Your First Dev Job

    The quest after the quests: turning your new skills into a paid seat at a guild. How hiring actually works, resumes that survive six-second scans, portfolios and GitHub profiles that do the talking, networking without the cringe, surviving technical and behavioral interviews, and reading an offer before you sign it. Straight talk about the junior market, quizzed as you go.
