Composer topics
12 short topics in Git and Developer Workflow. Each one is a single focused exercise with a clear piece of evidence at the end.
12 topics, one exercise each.
Work through them in order, or jump to the one you need.
These are draft topic outlines (draft; instructor review pending). Full lessons follow after review; ask Ajay if you need a topic sooner.

Package identity and version constraints
Demonstrate package identity and version constraints in a focused Composer example; verify normal behavior and one edge or failure case. Keep the exercise bounded and record the behavior supported by the chosen version.
Open micro-course → - 02
Dependency graph resolution
Demonstrate dependency graph resolution in a focused Composer example; verify normal behavior and one edge or failure case. Keep the exercise bounded and record the behavior supported by the chosen version.
Open micro-course → - 03
Transitive dependency inspection
Demonstrate transitive dependency inspection in a focused Composer example; verify normal behavior and one edge or failure case. Keep the exercise bounded and record the behavior supported by the chosen version.
Open micro-course → - 04
Dependency installation environments
