This course guides developers using Cursor, the AI-powered code editor built on Visual Studio Code, to boost productivity throughout the software development workflow. From writing and refactoring code to debugging, documenting, and working with multi-file projects, you’ll see how Cursor supports real coding tasks through natural language and context-aware suggestions, all within a familiar editing environment.
Using step-by-step examples and annotated screenshots, you’ll learn how to set up and navigate Cursor, use its AI chat to write and understand code, and apply these skills by building a complete Django-based Wordle game. Along the way, you’ll explore best practices and built-in tools like terminal access and GitHub integration. Whether coding independently or with others, you’ll come away with practical ways to use AI in your everyday development work without changing how you like to code.
