Each module builds on the previous. Labs use a real LittleHorse server. Challenges are graded by mentors and form your professional portfolio.

Hands-On Labs

Learn by Building Real Systems

Every lab runs against a real LittleHorse server. You write real Task Workers, define real WfSpecs, and watch real WfRuns execute.

Server Lab

Start a LittleHorse server with Docker, connect with lhctl, and explore the Dashboard at localhost:8080.

docker run --name lh-standalone \
  --rm -d -p 2023:2023 \
  -p 8080:8080 -p 9092:9092 \
  ghcr.io/littlehorse-enterprises/\
  littlehorse/lh-standalone:latest

Task Worker Lab

Build a Python Task Worker that processes student enrollment applications with validation and notification steps.

from littlehorse.config import LHConfig
from littlehorse.worker import LHTaskWorker

def process_enrollment(name, email):
    # Validate student data
    # Check eligibility
    # Create wallet
    return {"status": "approved"}

worker = LHTaskWorker(
    task_function=process_enrollment,
    task_def_name="process-enrollment"
)

WfSpec Lab

Define a complete enrollment workflow with conditional routing, external events, and human approval steps.

def enrollment_workflow(wf):
    name = wf.declare_str("student-name")
    email = wf.declare_str("email")

    # Step 1: Process application
    result = wf.execute("process-enrollment",
                        name, email)

    # Step 2: Conditional routing
    wf.do_if(
        wf.condition(result, "==", "approved"),
        lambda t: t.execute("send-welcome"),
        lambda t: t.execute("send-rejection")
    )
