- Added ## 🔧 DEVELOPMENT section before Step 1 where development begins
- Added ## 🤖 AUTO TESTING section before nbgrader block
- Updated to ## 🎯 MODULE SUMMARY: Neural Network Layers
Improves notebook organization without changing any code logic or content.
- Delete all 15 .ipynb files from modules/source directories
- Align with TinyTorch's Python-first development philosophy
- .py files are the source of truth, .ipynb files are temporary outputs
- Prevents version control conflicts with notebook metadata
- Students work directly with .py files using Jupytext format
- Notebooks can be regenerated when needed via 'tito nbdev generate'
Removed files:
- All *_dev.ipynb files across modules 01-15
- Keeps repository clean and focused on source code
- Added educational metadata (difficulty, time_estimate) to all module.yaml files
- Updated convert_readmes.py to read from YAML instead of hardcoded mappings
- Standardized difficulty progression: ⭐ → ⭐⭐ → ⭐⭐⭐ → ⭐⭐⭐⭐ → ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🥷
- Fixed path resolution for YAML reading in book build process
- Eliminated duplication: single source of truth for educational metadata
- Capstone gets special ninja treatment (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🥷) as beyond-expert level
README Updates:
- All modules now use consistent '🔥 Module: [Name]' format
- Removed inconsistent emojis (🧠, 🚀, 📊, 🧱, 🏋️)
- Removed module numbers and descriptive subtitles
- Clean, consistent branding across all 14 modules
Converter Updates:
- Added header cleaning logic to strip module prefixes from chapter titles
- Chapters now show clean names: 'CNN', 'Tensor', 'Setup', etc.
- No emoji or module numbers in final website headers
- Maintains clean, professional appearance
Result: Consistent source files + clean website presentation
✅ Rename all module directories: 00_setup → 01_setup, etc.
✅ Update convert_modules.py mappings for new directory names
✅ Update _toc.yml file paths and titles (1-14 instead of 0-13)
✅ Regenerate all overview pages with new numbering
✅ Fix all broken references in usage-paths and intro
✅ Update chapter references to use natural numbering
Benefits:
- More intuitive course progression starting from 1
- Matches academic course numbering conventions
- Eliminates confusion about 'Module 0' concept
- Cleaner mental model for students and instructors
- All references and links properly updated
Complete transformation: 14 modules now numbered 01-14
