Introduction: How This Course was Made

I built this for myself. I came from Python, game engines, and web development with high-level frameworks such as Next.js. I knew basic C syntax, but I kept hitting gaps in my knowledge whenever I tried to program my ESP32 using the ESP-IDF framework. I wanted to fill those gaps and gain enough knowledge to follow the documentation.

How it was made

I prompted DeepSeek V4 Pro with my requirements. I first had it generate an outline of the course, including the chapters and a short summary for each. Then I had it generate each of those 10 chapters, one by one.

I've expanded some chapters that were incomplete. As a result, some chapters are longer than others. You can view all the diffs in the repository.
