What This Book Asks of You

How to Read This So It Sticks

This guide is designed to be read sequentially, as each chapter builds on the previous one. Even if you're an experienced user, I recommend starting from the beginning — not just to ensure you have a solid foundation in the core concepts, but also to avoid missing any important technical detail that might come up in later chapters.

The material is hands-on and focused on practical examples. Code snippets and exercises are meant to be run in your own environment for a better learning experience. I strongly encourage you to follow along without skipping any steps on your first read: take your time to work through each concept using the code snippets, manifests, scripts, and examples provided. On a second pass, you can experiment with the examples and try adapting them to your own use cases.
