A four-week hands-on cohort for coding and automation with AI.

You already understand software development concepts, and you are ready to bring your ideas to life. Now you need the skills to turn those ideas into working software and practical automations whenever you decide it is time to build. AI-assisted coding now enables teams to create real apps, internal tools, and workflow automations through structured conversations with AI tools. Learning strong prompting techniques, review habits, and delivery practices is the new essential skill for modern builders and operators.

In this four-week workshop, you will start with a prompt and progressively design, build, and refine practical apps and automations using chat-based AI tools. Each session combines short learning sessions with hands-on building. By the end of every week, you will have something working that you can continue improving. By week four, you will have a practical project deployed from your own code repository or workflow environment. If you have some prior software experience and are ready to build, you are a strong fit for this workshop.
