Unit 0. Welcome to the course

Welcome to the Dev3Pack AI Engineering Bootcamp

Three weeks, fifteen live sessions of two hours, one capstone: a source-grounded research assistant you can install, test, evaluate, explain and defend.

How the course is laid out

Everything you open lives under units/en/, one directory per unit, in the order units/en/_toctree.yml gives:

Where What
unit0/ this welcome, onboarding, the runtime lanes, how to hand work in
w01-… to w12-… week 0, the self-paced prerequisite
session-01-… to session-15-… the fifteen live sessions, one per weekday
capstone/ the project you build between sessions from week 2
bonus-… optional reading, never counted

Each unit holds an introduction.mdx, its concept pages, an exercise notebook.ipynb, and a solutions/ folder.

What you need

A laptop with Python 3.11, uv, and a notebook editor. No API key: every scored notebook runs offline against a deterministic model double. A real model is an optional comparison lane, never a requirement.

Next

Onboarding gets the environment running. Then week 0, at your own pace, before Monday 14 September 2026.
