+# Raylings ⚡
+
+> An interactive, hands-on CLI learning environment for mastering Python Ray from scratch.
+
+Inspired by the pedagogy of [Rustlings](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings) and [Ziglings](https://github.com/ziglings/exercises), **Raylings** guides you through progressively challenging distributed computing exercises in Python. You will fix broken code, fill in missing distributed patterns, resolve performance bottlenecks, eliminate memory leaks, and build real-world distributed systems.
+
+---
+
+## What is Raylings?
+
+Ray is a unified framework for scaling AI and Python applications from single laptops to massive multi-node clusters. While powerful, mastering Ray's mental models—futures, stateful actors, Plasma zero-copy memory, dynamic placement groups, and lineage-based fault tolerance—requires hands-on practice.
+
+Raylings provides:
+- **Interactive File Watcher**: Edit exercises in your favorite editor; Raylings automatically re-runs and validates your changes on file save.
+- **Fast Execution**: Background Ray daemon re-uses a warm local cluster session for sub-50ms exercise turnaround.
+- **14 Chapters & 55+ Exercises**: From first remote tasks to distributed parameter servers, PyTorch DDP pipelines, Ray Serve DAGs, and KubeRay on Kubernetes.
+- **Progressive Hints & Solutions**: Stuck on an exercise? Get layered hints without spoiling the answer, or inspect canonical solutions when finished.
+
+---
+
+## Quickstart
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Python 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12
+- [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) (recommended) or `pipx` / `pip`
+
+### 1. Instant Run with `uvx` (No installation needed)
+
+Initialize a workspace in any directory and jump right in:
+
+```bash
+uvx raylings init
+uvx raylings watch
+```
+
+Or with `pipx`:
+
+```bash
+pipx run raylings init
+pipx run raylings watch
+```
+
+### 2. Standard Installation
+
+Install globally or in your virtual environment:
+
+```bash
+pip install raylings
+raylings init
+raylings watch
+```
+
+### 3. From Source
+
+Clone the repository and install in editable mode:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/dnf0/raylings.git
+cd raylings
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+raylings watch
+```
+
+### Interactive Learning Workflow
+
+Raylings will start on the first exercise in `exercises/01_basics/basics01.py`. When you remove the `# I AM NOT DONE` marker and implement the solution, Raylings automatically tests your changes on save and advances you to the next challenge.
+
+### CLI Commands
+
+- `raylings init` — Extract bundled exercises into the current directory.
+- `raylings watch` — Start continuous watching mode (recommended).
+- `raylings run <exercise_name>` — Run and verify a specific exercise.
+- `raylings test` — Run automated verification across all exercises.
+- `raylings hint <exercise_name>` — Show progressive hints for an exercise.
+- `raylings list` — View all chapters, exercises, and completion progress.
+- `raylings verify` — Verify full curriculum progress and validate solutions.

+# I AM NOT DONE
+"""Chapter 1: Ray Core Foundations - Exercise 1: Ray Init & First Remote Task.
+
+Welcome to Raylings!
+
+Ray is an open-source unified framework for scaling AI and Python applications.
+At its core, Ray turns standard Python functions into asynchronous, distributed
+tasks executed across worker processes.
+
+Key Concepts:
+1. `ray.init(ignore_reinit_error=True)`: Connects your Python script to a local
+   Ray cluster or starts one automatically if not already running.
+2. `@ray.remote`: A decorator that designates a Python function as a distributed
+   remote task.
+3. `func.remote(*args)`: Invoking a remote function returns an `ObjectRef` (a future),
+   submitting the task to the Ray scheduler without blocking.
+4. `ray.get(object_ref)`: Blocks until the task completes and retrieves the computed result.
+
+Your Task:
+- Initialize Ray using `ray.init(ignore_reinit_error=True)`.
+- Decorate the `square` function with `@ray.remote`.
+- Call `square.remote(7)` and retrieve the result using `ray.get()`.
+"""
+
+import ray
+
+
+# TODO: Decorate this function with @ray.remote
+def square(x: int) -> int:
+    return x * x
+
+
+def verify() -> None:

+# I AM NOT DONE
+"""Chapter 1: Ray Core Foundations - Exercise 2: ObjectRefs and ray.get().
+
+In Ray, calling a remote function does NOT return the computed value directly.
+Instead, it immediately returns an `ObjectRef`—a lightweight identifier representing
+a future value that will be computed asynchronously on a cluster worker.
+
+Key Concepts:
+1. `ObjectRef`: A 28-byte unique identifier representing an object residing in Ray's
+   distributed object store.
+2. `ray.get(object_ref)`: Blocks until the object is available and deserializes it.
+3. Batch `ray.get([ref1, ref2, ...])`: Ray can wait on and retrieve an entire list of
+   `ObjectRef`s in parallel with a single call, which is much more efficient than calling
+   `ray.get()` one by one.
+
+Your Task:
+- Define a remote function `multiply(a: int, b: int) -> int`.
+- Launch 5 parallel tasks calculating `i * 10` for `i` in `range(5)`.
+- Store the list of `ObjectRef`s.
+- Retrieve all 5 results in a single `ray.get(refs)` call.
