🔵 Workflow B: Apply Example Project

Learn techniques and skills using an example project.

When a course includes an example project, the project is part of the lecture content.

Start from the example project. Copy it into your GitHub, and clone your GitHub repository down to your machine. Run the example code and understand how it works. Make a small technical modification and ensure it still runs. Then, apply the skills to a new problem.

Professional Learning Loop

This reflects how professionals often learn new tools and techniques: start with a working system, understand it, modify it, and adapt it to new situations.

WHY? Example projects provide a working system for learning professional analytics tools and techniques. Starting from working code makes it possible to inspect real project structure, run commands, trace results, and make controlled changes.

Five Phases

  1. Start & Run
  2. Change Authorship
  3. Read & Understand the Example Project
  4. Make a Technical Modification
  5. Apply the Skills to a New Problem
