The more familiar we are with CSF Core, and the more we have readily available in memory, the easier it will be for us to work with it. So we'll start by just briefly reintroducing and reviewing the layout of CSF core and the fact that it's non-prescriptive, and then we'll move on to looking at a few of the first functions.
