FAQ
What formats are available?
Every whitepaper is available in PDF and EPUB, in French and English.
Why do most whitepapers ask for an email?
Not a paywall. Everything is free. WP00 is open access with no form at all. The others ask for your email so I can send you the download link and notify you when a revised version drops. One email, no newsletter unless you opt in.
What's the difference with the main guide?
The guide (26K+ lines) is the authoritative reference, comprehensive but dense. Whitepapers are structured narratives on a single topic: better for focused reading, printing, or sharing with non-developers.
Will they be updated?
Yes. Each whitepaper has its own version number independent of the guide. Subscribe to get notified when a new version drops. The email you provided at download is used for that.
Need this in production, not just in a guide?
I do AI engineering consulting: agent architecture, Claude Code adoption for teams, and getting agentic workflows from demo to production.
