The learning path is split into submodules for each specific topic.
Each submodule contains a description in form of a slide deck as well as an interactive CodeTour about a specific topic.
Each learning module is contained in a subfolder of the repository
It is made up of these components:
- slides: Slideshow for workshops
- .tours: Interactive walkthrough using CodeTours extension
- exercise: Additional self-learning material to test your skills
The slides can be interactively hosted locally on your PC. You need to install the tool reveal-md by typing this in your commandline:
npm install reveal-md --global
Note that this will install "third-party" software and is done at your own risk
You can then start the presentation by navigating to the module directory (e.g. 00_introduction) in the commandline and entering:
apax present
CodeTour is a Visual Studio Code extension, that can be used to create interactive tours in a VS Code project. To use the tours, please install the extension provided by Microsoft in the marketplace.
You will then find an additional drawer section in your explorer view:
Some modules contain additional training materials, that allow you to apply the skills you've learned through hands-on exercises.
You can start the exercise by opening the folder in AX Code and following the README.md
