From efe2da29297ebc1640088b1c77d75d7db631ed68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 8 Nov 2025 01:14:05 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add Livebook integration for interactive learning This commit introduces a comprehensive Livebook-based interactive learning system to complement the existing workbooks and study guides. ## Changes ### Infrastructure - Updated mix.exs with Kino dependencies (kino, kino_vega_lite, kino_db) - Created livebooks/ directory structure for all 15 phases - Added `make livebook` target to Makefile - Created .progress.json for tracking student progress ### Interactive Notebooks (Phase 1) Created 7 executable livebooks for Phase 1 (Elixir Core): 1. 01-pattern-matching.livemd - Pattern matching & guards 2. 02-recursion.livemd - Tail-call optimization & accumulators 3. 03-enum-stream.livemd - Eager vs lazy evaluation with benchmarks 4. 04-error-handling.livemd - Tagged tuples & with statements 5. 05-property-testing.livemd - StreamData & property-based testing 6. 06-pipe-operator.livemd - Pipelines & data structures 7. 07-advanced-patterns.livemd - Final challenge: Statistics calculator ### Support Files - setup.livemd - Onboarding guide with environment checks - dashboard.livemd - Progress tracking with VegaLite visualizations - livebooks/README.md - Comprehensive usage guide ### Smart Cells - lib/livebook_extensions/test_runner.ex - Run Mix tests for labs apps - lib/livebook_extensions/k6_runner.ex - Execute k6 load tests ### Documentation Updates - README.md - Added "Getting Started with Livebook" section - LESSON-PLANNING-SYSTEM.md - Added Livebook as 5th learning layer ## Features - **Interactive execution**: Students run code directly in browser - **Visual feedback**: Benchmarks and progress charts with VegaLite - **Self-assessment**: Kino forms track understanding of each concept - **Progress tracking**: JSON-based persistence across sessions - **Property testing**: Integrated StreamData examples and exercises - **Real-world challenges**: Statistics calculator with CSV streaming ## Benefits - Eliminates copy-paste to IEx workflow - Immediate feedback on exercises - Encourages experimentation - Visual learning with charts and benchmarks - Consistent progress tracking across all phases ## Testing All 7 Phase 1 livebooks have been tested with: - Executable code cells - Interactive forms and visualizations - Self-assessment checklists - Navigation between checkpoints --- Makefile | 3 + README.md | 25 + docs/LESSON-PLANNING-SYSTEM.md | 57 +- lib/livebook_extensions/k6_runner.ex | 134 +++++ lib/livebook_extensions/test_runner.ex | 94 +++ livebooks/.progress.json | 1 + livebooks/README.md | 270 +++++++++ livebooks/dashboard.livemd | 365 +++++++++++ .../phase-01-core/01-pattern-matching.livemd | 282 +++++++++ livebooks/phase-01-core/02-recursion.livemd | 352 +++++++++++ livebooks/phase-01-core/03-enum-stream.livemd | 442 ++++++++++++++ .../phase-01-core/04-error-handling.livemd | 425 +++++++++++++ .../phase-01-core/05-property-testing.livemd | 441 ++++++++++++++ .../phase-01-core/06-pipe-operator.livemd | 458 ++++++++++++++ .../phase-01-core/07-advanced-patterns.livemd | 566 ++++++++++++++++++ livebooks/phase-02-processes/README.md | 21 + livebooks/phase-03-genserver/README.md | 21 + livebooks/phase-04-naming/README.md | 21 + livebooks/phase-05-data/README.md | 21 + livebooks/phase-06-phoenix/README.md | 21 + livebooks/phase-07-jobs/README.md | 21 + livebooks/phase-08-caching/README.md | 21 + livebooks/phase-09-distribution/README.md | 21 + livebooks/phase-10-observability/README.md | 21 + livebooks/phase-11-testing/README.md | 21 + livebooks/phase-12-delivery/README.md | 21 + livebooks/phase-13-capstone/README.md | 21 + livebooks/phase-14-cto/README.md | 21 + livebooks/phase-15-ai/README.md | 21 + livebooks/setup.livemd | 224 +++++++ mix.exs | 6 +- 31 files changed, 4437 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 lib/livebook_extensions/k6_runner.ex create mode 100644 lib/livebook_extensions/test_runner.ex create mode 100644 livebooks/.progress.json create mode 100644 livebooks/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/dashboard.livemd create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-01-core/01-pattern-matching.livemd create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-01-core/02-recursion.livemd create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-01-core/03-enum-stream.livemd create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-01-core/04-error-handling.livemd create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-01-core/05-property-testing.livemd create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-01-core/06-pipe-operator.livemd create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-01-core/07-advanced-patterns.livemd create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-02-processes/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-03-genserver/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-04-naming/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-05-data/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-06-phoenix/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-07-jobs/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-08-caching/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-09-distribution/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-10-observability/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-11-testing/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-12-delivery/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-13-capstone/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-14-cto/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/phase-15-ai/README.md create mode 100644 livebooks/setup.livemd diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 3cb4384..739654d 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -59,3 +59,6 @@ load: ## Run load tests smoke: ## Run smoke tests k6 run tools/k6/smoke.js + +livebook: ## Start Livebook server + livebook server --home livebooks/ diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index eae5210..3cfe6ad 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -54,6 +54,31 @@ make db-up make fmt ``` +## šŸ““ Getting Started with Livebook + +Interactive learning notebooks are available in `livebooks/`. + +```bash +# Install dependencies (includes Kino for Livebook) +mix deps.get + +# Start Livebook server +make livebook + +# Open your browser to http://localhost:8080 +# Navigate to setup.livemd to begin +``` + +**What's in Livebook?** + +- **Interactive exercises** -
