Labs by certification¶

Which hands-on projects back up which certification. Doing the lab is worth more than re-reading the notes: most of these exams test whether you have actually built the thing.

21 of 72 cert guides have a matching lab. The rest have no lab yet - that is a gap, not a judgement about the cert. Labs are mapped by hand in each project's certs: frontmatter.
