What you'll learn
Set Up Your AI-First Dev Environment
Learn how to configure Cursor, Claude Code, and your terminal to create a productive, AI-augmented workflow.
Choose the Right Model for the Right Job
Understand when to use Claude, GPT-4, or others based on real engineering tasks—not just vibes.
Prompting That Works
Go beyond “try this” prompting. Learn techniques that generate secure, maintainable, and context-aware code.
Write Secure, Scalable Software with AI
Get best practices for using LLMs safely—from API design to data privacy—so your code can go to prod, not just the demo.
Solve Problems with Deep Research
Use ChatGPT and Gemini deep research search tools, and technical resources to uncover the best solution.
Why this topic matters
AI tools like Cursor and Claude Code are becoming standard—but most junior engineers either rely on them too naively or underuse them. This workshop will help you go from AI-curious to AI-capable, using these tools to write secure, scalable code. We’ll cover prompting, model selection, and practical workflows—a key step in leveling up your dev skills in a world where AI is part of the stack.
