Layer 1 — Data & Programming Foundations

Coming soon. This layer will cover how raw reality becomes reliable data: types, validation, EDA, Python mechanics, and the first engineering constraints.
Why This Layer Exists

Layer 0 explains the math/statistics behind learning. Layer 1 covers how to make inputs trustworthy enough for that math to matter.

  • Data types and schema constraints
  • Cleaning, validation, and unit consistency
  • Exploration and sanity checks
  • Python and tooling habits for reproducible work
