Olam

Systems curriculum with small interactive demos in the browser.

The Problem

Video-only courses don't stick for me. Olam maps topics from HTTP basics through deploy and React internals, with tiny simulators next to the text so you can poke the idea instead of only reading it.

Architecture

Next.js App Router with doc graph and sticky mission column

Interactive modules: event loop, CAP theorem, load balancer, C10k, UTF-8, concurrency locks

Markdown syllabus + curriculum export alongside the web shell

Engineering Decisions

Why embed demos in the docs?

Keeps the explanation and the toy model on one screen. Separate lab repos mean more repo switching than most people will do.

Highlights
