Making the book open source allows you or anyone else, to interact with the project by openingissues, making typo fixes and more, for the benefit of everyone.

The book’s website is built by GitHub Actions, which runs the code every time we make a change, ensuring code correctness and reproducibility. The current build status as follows:

You can run the code in the book using GitHub CodeSpaces as follows (requires a GitHub account):
