Agentic Coding

New here? Read this first. It is a short orientation: what this course is, how it is put together, and where to begin.

What this is

A hands-on course on building real software with AI coding agents, taught over five days. The material comes from real development work rather than hypotheticals: the examples, the numbers, and the failures are all drawn from shipping projects.

How it is put together

Each day is one teaching unit in three parts:

  • Theory — the day's ideas, worked through with real examples.
  • Exercises — hands-on practice at the keyboard.
  • Reference card — a one-page summary to keep beside you afterwards.

Running alongside the days are the Agentic Coding Insights: short, self-contained lessons, each one a single idea with the evidence behind it. A standalone case study and a reference section round out the set.

How to use it

There are two ways through:

  • Sequentially — start at Day 1 and work through day by day. This is the intended path for a first read; each day builds on the one before.
  • As a reference — already comfortable with the basics? Go straight to a reference card or an insight by topic.
