The core concepts in a sensible order. 2. A week-by-week schedule with specific practice tasks, not just reading. 3. 2โ3 small projects that prove the skill and could go in a portfolio. 4. How to check progress each week. 5. Types of resources to use (official docs, courses, communities).

We never ask for your AI account login. ChatGPT and Claude open with the prompt filled in when it's short enough for a link; Gemini always needs a paste.
