🧠 Feature Request: Examples and Difficulty Scaling in Descriptions #4

@Synaptic724

Description

@Synaptic724

Summary

This package requires detailed examples for each object.
At least 5 examples per object, ranging from beginner to expert, must be provided.
Each code comment should clearly indicate whether the object or usage pattern is beginner-friendly or advanced.


🧩 Purpose

Users need a structured learning roadmap.

Not all users are at the same level of experience. Some are absolute beginners to concurrency and threads, while others are seasoned Python warriors. This library should:

  • Offer approachable, simple examples to help new users get started
  • Provide progressively advanced use cases for deeper understanding
  • Clearly indicate the difficulty level of each example or API usage
  • Make use of print statements with timestamps for step-by-step tracking
  • Educate the user on how to graduate from one tool to another (e.g., from SyncInt to SyncFork)

🎓 User Onboarding Flow

Level What They Should Learn Example Types
🟢 Beginner Sync types, simple barriers, auto-reset timers SyncRef, SyncBool, ClockBarrier, Stopwatch
🟡 Intermediate Group coordination, simple dispatching, command centers Group, Fork, Agent, CommandCenter
🔴 Advanced Multi-thread orchestration, CAS, dynamic semaphores SyncFork, SignalController, FlowRegulator, Conductor

Each level should have an annotated example folder with:

  • A few well-commented .py examples
  • Clear descriptions on why a tool is used
  • Markers for expected output and what success looks like

🧪 Implementation Plan

  • Tag each example with its difficulty level (Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced)
  • Add top-of-file block comments in each *_example.py explaining:
    • Purpose of the example
    • Expected output
    • Related tools
  • Create a README.md or index.rst for the examples/ folder explaining the tier system
  • Annotate RST documentation to link relevant examples
  • Consider adding GIFs / diagrams / ASCII visuals for agent flows (beginner visual learners)

💬 Notes

Users must have explicit understanding and a roadmap to become more proficient from learning objects that are easier to use. The path to proficiency needs to be mapped properly so the library is seamlessly integrated into a user's toolkit and skillet.

This initiative will make ThreadFactory feel like a guided weapon kit — intuitive, elegant, and absolutely deadly in the right hands 🧠⚙️🧵
