This course is about learning how to code in the age of AI. It balances the conceptual clarity beginner coders need with AI’s ability to solve computing problems like Java professionals. The approach is AI-enabled, hands-on, and project-based.
You’ll start with print statements and variables, then move through decisions, loops, and data structures. Each step is anchored by real-world projects like a receipt generator, smartwatch step tracker, or meal planner. You’ll practice prompting AI to generate, refine, and debug code, building syntax knowledge and modern coding workflows.
The course culminates in a capstone budget tracker app where you’ll gather client requirements, implement features, and add error handling. You’ll then refactor the app into professional-grade code. With guided lessons, interactive AI support, and six complete projects, you’ll finish with practical skills and a portfolio to showcase to the tech world.

"You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it."
