Vijay Janapa Reddi 6d8fb078f7 🧹 Clean up setup module - NBDev behind the scenes
- Focused on original purpose: just setting up development environment
- Students don't see NBDev educational features explanations
- Simple workflow: hello world, basic class, export, test, progress
- NBDev #|hide directive works behind scenes for instructor solutions
- Clean and simple, just like the original but with hidden solutions

Back to basics: setup is about setup, not teaching NBDev features

# Module 0: Setup - Tiny🔥Torch Development Workflow
Welcome to TinyTorch! This module teaches you the development workflow you'll use throughout the course.
## Learning Goals
- Understand the nbdev notebook-to-Python workflow
- Write your first TinyTorch code
- Run tests and use the CLI tools
- Get comfortable with the development rhythm
## The TinyTorch Development Cycle
1. **Write code** in this notebook using `#| export`
2. **Export code** with `python bin/tito.py sync --module setup`
3. **Run tests** with `python bin/tito.py test --module setup`
4. **Check progress** with `python bin/tito.py info`
Let's get started!
"""
# %%
#| default_exp core.utils
# Setup imports and environment
import sys
import platform
from datetime import datetime
print("🔥 TinyTorch Development Environment")
print(f"Python {sys.version}")
print(f"Platform: {platform.system()} {platform.release()}")
print(f"Started: {datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')}")

## Step 1: Understanding the Module → Package Structure
**🎓 Teaching vs. 🔧 Building**: This course has two sides:
- **Teaching side**: You work in `modules/setup/setup_dev.ipynb` (learning-focused)
- **Building side**: Your code exports to `tinytorch/core/utils.py` (production package)
**Key Concept**: The `#| default_exp core.utils` directive at the top tells nbdev to export all `#| export` cells to `tinytorch/core/utils.py`.
This separation allows us to:
- Organize learning by **concepts** (modules)
- Organize code by **function** (package structure)
- Build a real ML framework while learning systematically
Let's write a simple "Hello World" function with the `#| export` directive:
"""
# %%
#| export
def hello_tinytorch():
"""
A simple hello world function for TinyTorch.
TODO: Make this return a more welcoming message about TinyTorch.
"""
return "Hello from TinyTorch! 🔥"
def add_numbers(a, b):
"""Add two numbers together."""
return a + b
# %%
#| hide
#| export
def hello_tinytorch():
"""A simple hello world function for TinyTorch."""
return "🔥 Welcome to TinyTorch! Ready to build ML systems from scratch? Let's go! 🔥"
# %%
# Test the functions in the notebook
print(hello_tinytorch())
print(f"2 + 3 = {add_numbers(2, 3)}")
# %% [markdown]
"""
## Step 2: A Simple Class
Let's create a simple class that will help us understand system information. This is still basic, but shows how to structure classes in TinyTorch.
"""
# %%
#| export
class SystemInfo:
"""Simple system information class."""
def __init__(self):
self.python_version = sys.version_info
self.platform = platform.system()
self.machine = platform.machine()
def __str__(self):
return f"Python {self.python_version.major}.{self.python_version.minor} on {self.platform} ({self.machine})"
def is_compatible(self):
"""Check if system meets minimum requirements."""
return self.python_version >= (3, 8)
# %%
# Test the SystemInfo class
info = SystemInfo()
print(f"System: {info}")
print(f"Compatible: {info.is_compatible()}")
# %% [markdown]
"""
## Step 3: Try the Export Process
Now let's export our code! In your terminal, run:
```bash
python bin/tito.py sync --module setup
```
This will export the code marked with `#| export` to `tinytorch/core/utils.py`.
**What happens during export:**
1. nbdev scans this notebook for `#| export` cells
2. Extracts the Python code
3. Writes it to `tinytorch/core/utils.py` (because of `#| default_exp core.utils`)
4. Handles imports and dependencies automatically
**🔍 Verification**: After export, check `tinytorch/core/utils.py` - you'll see your functions there with auto-generated headers pointing back to this notebook!
"""
# %% [markdown]
"""
## Step 4: Run Tests
After exporting, run the tests:
```bash
python bin/tito.py test --module setup
```
This will run all tests for the setup module and verify your implementation works correctly.
## Step 5: Check Your Progress
See your overall progress:
```bash
python bin/tito.py info
```
This shows which modules are complete and which are pending.

## 🎉 Congratulations!
You've learned the TinyTorch development workflow:
1. ✅ Write code in notebooks with `#| export`
2. ✅ Export with `tito sync --module setup`
3. ✅ Test with `tito test --module setup`
4. ✅ Check progress with `tito info`
**This is the rhythm you'll use for every module in TinyTorch.**
### Next Steps
Ready for the real work? Head to **Module 1: Tensor** where you'll build the core data structures that power everything else in TinyTorch.
**Development Tips:**
- Always test your code in the notebook first
- Export frequently to catch issues early
- Read error messages carefully - they're designed to help
- When stuck, check if your code exports cleanly first
Happy building! 🔥
