30 interactive lessons.
Every lesson is designed for focused study sessions — not walls of text.
Rich Text Content
Clear prose, highlighted callouts, worked examples, and real-world context — not dry reference docs.
Code Blocks
Syntax-highlighted code examples in every lesson. See patterns and implementations side by side.
Reading Time Estimate
Each lesson shows an estimated read time so you can plan short sessions on the go.

Callout Boxes
Key tips, warnings, and pro insights surface in styled callouts that stand out from body text.
Offline First
All lesson content is bundled with the app. No downloads, no loading spinners, no Wi-Fi required.
60 questions. No hand-holding.
Quizzes test real understanding — not memorised phrasing.
4-Choice Questions
Every question has four options, exactly one correct answer, and plausible distractors.
Detailed Explanations
After each answer, a clear explanation shows why the correct choice is right and the others aren't.
70% Pass Threshold
Score 70% or above to unlock your certificate. Lower scores prompt a retry with reshuffled questions.
Unlimited Retries
Retry immediately. Questions reshuffle on every attempt so you can't memorise answer positions.
Best Score Tracking
Your highest score per course is saved and displayed so you can see improvement over time.
Score History
Recent quiz scores appear on the Progress screen, giving context for your study patterns.
Spaced repetition that actually works.
The SM-2 algorithm — the same engine behind Anki — schedules reviews so you study the right card at the right time.
SM-2 Algorithm
Independently proven spaced-repetition scheduling. Maximises retention with minimal review time.
3D Flip Animation
Tap to flip cards with a smooth 3D rotation. See the question, think your answer, reveal it.
Again / Hard / Good / Easy
Four-step rating adjusts the next review interval. Honest ratings lead to better scheduling.
Due Tracking
The app shows how many cards are due today across all decks. Review your due cards, then stop.
