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.
