Batch Summary

Notes

• Book is a living document — Part 3 (real-world applications, open data architectures) is not yet published. Re-inventory when new chapters drop.
• Chapter 3 appears to be skipped in the URL structure (jumps from Part 1 Ch 2 to Part 2 Ch 4) — may be unpublished or restructured.
• Monitor the changelog for new content.
