Think of this chart as a gentle nudge, not homework. If you’ve been living in one topic, a single chapter from a different slice of the graph can give you fresh ideas for old problems.

Blend one analytics chapter with one GPU or performance chapter for better instincts.

When in doubt, open the book of the day and read just three pages.
