Learning Tips

1. Follow the Order

Tutorials are designed to build on each other. Don't skip ahead unless you're already familiar with the concepts.

2. Type Everything

Don't copy-paste code. Typing helps you internalize patterns and understand the flow.

3. Experiment

After each tutorial, try modifying the examples. Break things and fix them - it's the best way to learn.

4. Use the Memory System

Document your learnings in CLAUDE.md files. This reinforces concepts and creates your personal knowledge base.

5. Join the Community

Share your projects, ask questions, and learn from others building with Orchestre.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

1. Claude Code installed and configured
2. Node.js 18+ and npm/yarn
3. Git for version control
4. Basic command line knowledge
5. Text editor (VS Code recommended)

Choosing Your Path

"I have a specific project in mind"

→ Start by generating your implementation tutorial:

/orchestre:generate-implementation-tutorial (MCP) "[Your project description]"

"I want to build something quickly"

→ Follow the Implementation Tutorial Guide first

"I'm evaluating Orchestre for my team"

→ Generate a tutorial for your actual use case, then explore Enterprise Patterns

"I want to master everything"

→ Start with tutorial generation, then follow the complete curriculum

"I learn best by doing"

→ Generate a tutorial for your dream project and start building immediately
