Summary

  • add a tutorial that uses a PowerShell notebook in Verso to build a small reverse-mode automatic differentiation engine
  • walk through scalar operations, computation graphs, neurons, and training a tiny neural network
  • include five SVG illustrations showing graph structure and loss history

Why

The article presents automatic differentiation as an approachable, inspectable PowerShell exercise. It also demonstrates how Verso notebooks and PSGraphView can support interactive exploration of computation graphs.

Author profile

The dedicated author profile is being added separately in #72. This article can be reviewed independently, but should preferably merge after that PR so its byline links to the complete profile.

Validation

  • rebased onto the current upstream/main
  • npm run build
  • verified the generated article page includes all five SVG assets

One unrelated presentation issue I noticed while checking code-heavy articles: syntax-highlighted code is difficult to read in the site's light theme.

Several tokens—particularly parameters, module names, and unhighlighted text—are rendered in very light gray against an almost white background. The problem is visible in the code blocks under Prepare PSRule and the graph module.

Since this article also contains a substantial amount of PowerShell code, could we improve the light-theme contrast or use a dark background for highlighted code blocks? I am also happy to open a separate issue if that would be a better place to track this.
