Topics¶
Start from the job you want to do. Each guide is one page in four parts, so you can stop at the part you need.
| Part | Level | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
| In one minute | Beginner | what it is for, in plain words |
| Do it | Intermediate | the commands, copy and run |
| Expert | Expert | every algorithm and its standard, the implementations, common mistakes, best practices |
| Now and next | Expert: the latest research | what changed lately and what is coming, with the date it was checked |
Each guide stays short and links to the Book for the why and to the Algorithms pages for the details.
