Beyond the lessons

Assess, practise, pass the proof

Reading a lesson confirms nothing. A skill is confirmed by a passed quiz, practised in a guided lab, and put to the test by a challenge or a mission; an imported lab result is not verified by the site.

Assess yourself

1 quiz

At the end of the lessons: passed at 70%, it confirms the skill.

Practice

7 guided labs

• The configuration that refuses absurd values
• count indexes by position, and the position lies
• Generate blocks, and know when not to
• What expressions really compute
• Add an instance without destroying the others
• Transform a catalog with for expressions
• Compose values with HCL functions
