Pravartak

Getting started

Pravartak is a static learning site: no sign-in, tracking account, or server is required. Read lessons in order, try the small exercises, and use the slide decks for visual review.

A useful rhythm

Section titled “A useful rhythm”
  1. Preview. Scan the learning outcomes and the service or tool comparison.
  2. Learn. Read the explanation and reproduce the smallest example.
  3. Build. Complete the guided lab without copying blindly.
  4. Summarize. Open the slides and restate the idea in your own words.
  5. Verify. Use the checklist, then remove any paid cloud resources.

Using slide decks

Section titled “Using slide decks”

Every deck is a normal markdown file under src/content/slides/. In the viewer:

  • Use the arrow keys, Page Up/Page Down, or the on-screen controls to navigate.
  • Press A to open drawing tools and N to show notes.
  • Pen, highlighter, and eraser strokes are saved automatically in this browser.
  • Export downloads a JSON backup; Import restores it on another browser.
  • Clearing site data also clears autosaved annotations, so export anything important.

What you need

Section titled “What you need”
  • A modern browser for reading and annotating.
  • Node.js 20 or newer only if you edit or build the site.
  • An AWS account for the deployment labs. Set a budget before creating resources.
