IA da Terminale
From the beginning, or from wherever you left off.
They are meant to be read in order: every chapter takes the previous one for granted, and none of them takes for granted that you can program. About half an hour each, better with the terminal open next to you. No sign-up, no email, no pages that stop halfway through.
Reading order
Eight chapters, in the right order
Every chapter opens with what you will learn and closes with exercises you can check yourself. You can stop and come back whenever you like.
- 01First of all: what is a computerReady to read
Three verbs, the archive, the path, and the machine's ways in.
- 02Getting started with the terminalReady to read
Half an hour, and nothing breaks. The first three words, permissions, and what to do when it goes wrong.
- 03Who you have on the other sideReady to read
What an AI materially is, what it sees, how it gets things wrong, and how to choose among products that keep changing.
- 04From generative AI to agentic AIReady to read
It did not get smarter: it was given hands. What tools are, what the harness around the model is, and how much rope to give.
- 05The first projectReady to read
One afternoon, and from tomorrow you never do it again. Choosing the right job, preparing the ground, asking the way you would ask a colleague, and looking at the result with your own eyes.
- 06The second project: when the error is invisibleReady to read
A wrong name is visible, a wrong number is not. How to check a result you cannot look at, and how to stretch the net that lets you always go back.
- 07The third project: when the material is not yoursReady to read
The material is not yours, it lives outside and it changes on its own. Freezing sources with a date, keeping what you saw apart from what you claim, and writing a result someone else will read.
- 08The last project: building the toolReady to read
Not a result, but a tool. What an MCP is without jargon, how to build the part the ready-made thing does not do, and the two new risks that cannot be undone.
