Please note that:
- Work does not follow a linear pattern. In general, we’ll publish recipes, fundamentals, projects, and finish with the introductory sections.
- We may add or remove chapters without notice.
- To provide feedback, please use the discussion tool at the bottom of every chapter page.
- We have an errata page which can also be used for reporting a bug, but is better suitable for once this project is formally published.
