One step at a time, visibly.
Your ladder: Work with data
One hour is 24 px wide on every page, so a longer course is a wider step.
4 steps, 37 hours, about 17 weeks.
How a path works
Lessons are short
Most lessons take between eight and fifteen minutes. You can stop after any one.
Steps are courses
A course is three to five modules. A path is two to four courses in a useful order.

Questions
Most lessons run between eight and fifteen minutes. Each course page lists every lesson with its minutes.
Hours are the total time we expect, exercises and the small project included. The lesson minutes on a course page are the part you read or watch; the rest is practice.
