📝 SUMMARY
The curriculum has a strong foundation with Part I completely implemented and the Capstone Project fully functional. However, significant gaps remain in Parts II, III, and IV, particularly in the missing chapters and project implementations.
Current Status: 27% Complete Estimated Completion: 70% with high-priority items Full Completion: 100% with all missing content
The curriculum is usable as-is for Part I and the Capstone Project, but needs substantial work to be a complete learning resource covering all topics from the book.
