Initial public delivery. Two days, six sections per day, BookTracker as the through-line.

  • Day 1, Section 4 adds debugging from a stack trace as a first-class topic and Lab 4 step.

  • Day 2, Section 5 Lab 5 promotes AI-generated release notes from a bonus to a first-class step alongside the GitHub Actions code-review workflow.

  • Day 2, Section 3 documents a free/local embedding path (Ollama + nomic-embed-text) alongside the OpenAI default.
