This course teaches hardware makers, electronics hobbyists, and solopreneurs to use AI coding assistants to build real software tools, end to end. You will learn not just how to prompt an AI, but how to run a complete development workflow: from brainstorming and specification through to a tested, deployed application. No computer science background required.
Course structure
The course runs across six modules. Module 0 covers installation and orientation. Module 1 builds the foundations: how AI-assisted coding actually works, the Five Levels framework, how to frame problems for an AI, and how to manage the failure modes that catch most new users. Module 2 covers the tools and LLM landscape. Module 3 walks through the full workflow: planning, implementation, testing, iteration, refactoring, and deployment. Module 4 covers embedding an LLM inside a running application. Module 5 is the capstone: a production-quality, multi-user web application built from scratch with an AI agent.
