Go deeper ​
TIP
Yes, we are fully aware that "Go deeper" practically demands a "That's what she said." We are choosing to show proper restraint. Michael would not have.
These pages are not required to complete the workshop. They exist for attendees who want to go further into the foundations behind a topic, either during a break or after the day.
Each deep dive:
- Covers one topic in more depth than the main segments allow time for
- Includes at least one hands-on exercise
- Has a dedicated fallback branch in the workshop repository so you can pick it up any time
Available deep dives ​
| Topic | What you will explore | Branch |
|---|---|---|
| Vectorization & vector databases | How text becomes numbers, how similarity search works, Word2Vec arithmetic with an office twist, and Azure AI resources | baselines/deep-dive-vectorization |
More deep dives will be added as the workshop evolves. Suggestions welcome via the repository issue tracker.
When to visit these
The vectorization deep dive pairs naturally with Part 2, Context engineering, specifically the RAG section. But it stands alone, so come back to it whenever it fits.
