senzing/senzing-bootcamp
Guided bootcamp for learning Senzing entity resolution with GitHub Copilot.
Start or resume the Senzing entity-resolution bootcamp. Use when the user says "start the bootcamp", "begin the bootcamp", "resume the bootcamp", "continue the bootcamp from module N", or asks for the guided Senzing tutorial.
Bootcamp preparation (first, mandatory module): choose Core vs Customized, select which modules to run, set verbosity and programming language, and initialize version control (git, no prompt). Use right after the onboarding WELCOME preface, before the entity-resolution primer / Module 1.
Bootcamp graduation: generate the recap PDF and a production-ready project. Use when the bootcamper finishes the last module (Module 7) and accepts the graduation offer, or says "graduate", "run graduation", or "finish the bootcamp".
Bootcamp Module 0 (optional): the Entity Resolution Concepts primer. Runs only when "Entity Resolution Concepts" was selected during Bootcamp preparation. Use when the bootcamper reaches the entity-resolution concepts module, or asks to explore entity resolution concepts before Module 1.
Bootcamp Module 1: Discover the Business Problem. Use when the bootcamper starts or resumes Module 1, or wants to define their entity-resolution business problem, data sources, and success criteria.
Bootcamp Module 2: SDK setup (installing and configuring the Senzing SDK). Use when the bootcamper starts or resumes Module 2, or needs to install/configure the Senzing SDK, set up the database, or run the verification test.
Bootcamp Module 3: System Verification. Use when the bootcamper starts or resumes Module 3, or needs to verify the Senzing system works end-to-end and produce a verification report. (The Truth Set visualization is a separate, standalone module run next.)
Bootcamp module: Truth Set Visualization. Use when the bootcamper starts or resumes the Truth Set visualization module — stand up an interactive web app of the resolved Senzing Truth Set (the "wow moment") after System Verification. A standalone module, separate from System Verification.
Bootcamp Module 4: Data collection (identifying and collecting data sources). Use when the bootcamper starts or resumes Module 4, or needs to gather source data into data/raw/.
Bootcamp Module 5: Data Quality, Mapping, and Transformation. Use when the bootcamper starts or resumes Module 5, or needs to assess data quality and map records to the Senzing Entity Specification.
Bootcamp Module 6: Data Processing. Use when the bootcamper starts or resumes Module 6, or needs to load mapped data into Senzing (single source then multi-source) and validate the load.
Bootcamp Module 7: Query, Visualize and Discover. Use when the bootcamper starts or resumes Module 7, or needs to query resolved entities, visualize them, and explore results against the business problem.
