FIAE Umschulung Notes

A structured, markdown-based knowledge system developed during my training as a
Fachinformatiker für Anwendungsentwicklung (FIAE).

👉 Live Documentation (recommended):
https://seanconroy-dev.github.io/FIAE_Umschulung_Notes/

All notes are transformed into a searchable documentation system with structured navigation, indexing, and tag-based exploration.

Example: Generated documentation with categorized subjects, searchable content, and structured navigation

Documentation Output

The notes are automatically transformed into a structured documentation site using MkDocs, providing:

• Fast navigation across subjects
• Tag-based exploration
• Full-text search across all notes

Creating Notes

New notes are created using the interactive PowerShell script:

pwsh notes/Tools/new-fiae-note.ps1

The script works on Windows, Linux, and macOS (PowerShell 7+ required).
It will prompt you for:

Prompt	Example input	Notes
Fach (subject)	PT, ST, DB, Programmiertechnik	Short aliases and full names are accepted
Kürzel (instructor code)	POG, ASS	Converted to uppercase automatically
Titel (title)	Windows – Bootprozess	Used for the filename slug and the H1 heading
Modul	OOP	Optional
Topic	Bootprozess	Optional
Level	Grundlagen	Optional
Tags	Java, OOP, AP1	Comma-separated, optional

Once confirmed, the script:

1. Creates the folder notes/<year>/<subject>/<instructor>/ if it does not exist yet (with your confirmation)
2. Writes a new .md file named <date>_<subject>_<instructor>_<slug>.md with pre-filled YAML frontmatter and a heading
3. Opens the file in VS Code automatically (if the code CLI is available)

Supported subject aliases

Alias	Subject
pt	Programmiertechnik
st	Systemtechnik
bs	Betriebssysteme
db, sql	Datenbanken
dt	Digitaltechnik
nt	Netzwerktechnik
tk	Telekommunikation
web	Webentwicklung
wiso	WiSo
git	Git

Note System

Notes follow a consistent hierarchical structure:

notes/<year>/<subject>/<instructor>/<file>.md

Example:

notes/2026/Programmiertechnik/UDEMY/
2026-02-17_Programmiertechnik_UDEMY_class-object.md

---

Metadata

Each note includes standardized YAML frontmatter:

title: "java.lang.Object – Root Class"
date: 2026-02-17
subject: "Programmiertechnik"
instructor: "UDEMY"
module: "OOP"
tags:
  - Java
  - OOP
  - AP1

These metadata fields enable:

• Automatic index generation
• Tag-based navigation
• Filtering by subject, instructor, or module

---

Project Goals

• Build a structured and maintainable knowledge base
• Support efficient exam preparation (AP1 / AP2)
• Apply software engineering principles to learning workflows
• Serve as a public learning portfolio
