Overview Author

• Lead with what they'll build - Show the concrete deliverable and its value
• Use comparisons when helpful - SQL or other tech comparisons can provide context for the final solution
• Be factual about value - Performance in plain language (index lookup then pointer traversal; cost scales with connections, not table size), simplicity, readability—stick to facts, not sales language. Do not use Big O or notation like O(1), O(k), O(n×m).
• Make it sound fun and achievable - 2 hours to build something that works and demonstrates value

Workshop overview pattern:

• Start with the concrete goal (what they'll build)
• Explain why it matters (business value, real-world use case)
• Use comparisons if they help demonstrate value (e.g., final solution: 11 lines vs 38 lines)
• Focus on the hands-on journey and working deliverable

Part A: Workshop Overview Lessons

Phase 1: Understand Workshop Goal (10 min)

Checklist: Gather Information

• Read WORKSHOP-PLAN.md for workshop goals
• Identify concrete deliverable
• List all modules and their building blocks
• Note prerequisites
• Determine duration (core + optional)
• Understand value proposition

Key Questions to Answer

Before writing anything, answer:

1. What will learners build? (concrete end deliverable)
2. Why does it matter? (value proposition, business benefit)
3. What are the modules? (list with building blocks)
4. Who is this for? (target audience, prerequisites)
5. How long will it take? (core path + optional)
6. What's the progression? (how modules build on each other)
