Here we provide a number of training lessons, each consisting of:
The purpose section of the lesson explains its importance.
The learning material is usually external articles, book chapters, and videos. If you skim familiar material, do so judiciously.
The exercises are meant to strengthen your understanding and help you identify holes in your knowledge. Some are questions, others are tasks. Nobody will see your answers, but you must write your answers to them in a notebook before revealing the provided answers. If there is an exercise that doesn’t seem worthwhile, write a brief justification as to why. After completing the lessons, you will discuss the lesson with another Innolitics team member.
Finally, you will contribute improvements to the lesson via a pull request. As part of this pull request, you will also record in the article’s YAML front-matter, that you completed it.
These lessons are meant especially for new members of the Innolitics team. We are excited to have you on board!
