For new coders & career switchers

Code with AI

A learn-to-code course built for the AI era. Fundamentals and AI tools taught together from day one, so you build real things fast, and understand every line you ship.

After this course you can

Build and ship a real web page with AI as your pair programmer
Read code well enough to catch AI's mistakes before they bite
Debug errors methodically instead of pasting and praying
Break a real project into prompts an AI can actually execute
Work the way modern developers actually work: AI-first, judgement always

You'll walk away with: A working web page you built and can extend · A debugging playbook for AI-generated code

Setup & the AI-First Mindset

Meet your AI pair programmer and learn the loop that powers everything: describe → generate → read → run → debug → refine.

The loop

Up next14m70 XP

The six-step rhythm every AI-era developer runs hundreds of times a day.

Your AI toolkit

Free12m60 XP

Chat assistants, in-editor copilots, and coding agents: what each is for and which to start with.

How the Web Works

What actually happens when you load a page, the three languages of the web, and your first AI-built page.

What happens when you load a page

Free12m60 XP

The 300-millisecond journey from typing a URL to seeing a website.

HTML, CSS & JS in 20 minutes

Free20m80 XP

The skeleton, the skin, and the brain: enough of each to read what your AI writes.

Your first AI-built page

25m100 XP

Prompt an AI to build a real page, then read, tweak, and own every line of it.

Programming Fundamentals with an AI Pair

Variables, logic, loops, functions, and data: each taught classically first, then supercharged with your AI pair.

Variables and data

15m70 XP

How programs remember things.

Logic and loops

18m80 XP

Decisions and repetition: the heart of every program.

Functions

15m70 XP

Naming a chunk of work so you (and your AI) can reuse it.

Lists and objects

18m80 XP

Organising data the way real apps do.

"Explain this code"

12m60 XP

Using AI as an infinitely patient tutor.

Prompt Engineering for Code

Writing specs an AI can follow, feeding it the right context, and breaking big builds into promptable chunks.

Writing specs AI can follow

15m70 XP

Vague in, vague out. Precise in, shippable out.

Feeding the right context

15m70 XP

Files, errors, constraints: what your AI needs to see.

Break it into chunks

15m70 XP

Decomposing a big feature into a chain of small prompts.

Reading & Debugging AI-Generated Code

The skill nobody else teaches: tracing logic you didn't write, catching the AI when it's confidently wrong, and never shipping code you don't understand.

Tracing logic you didn't write

18m80 XP

A reading method for unfamiliar code.

When AI is confidently wrong

18m80 XP

The classic failure patterns of generated code.

Security smells

15m70 XP

The five vulnerabilities AI loves to write.

Verify before you ship

15m70 XP

A checklist that catches what your eyes miss.

Build a Real Project End-to-End

Plan, build, and ship a full app with an agentic AI workflow: front end, back end, database, and git.

Plan the app

20m90 XP

From idea to a build plan your AI can execute.

The agentic workflow

25m100 XP

Directing an AI agent that edits files, runs tests, and fixes errors.

Front to back

30m120 XP

UI, API, and database: assembled and understood.

Git with AI

18m80 XP

Version control as your safety net for AI-speed changes.

Working Like an AI-Assisted Engineer

Tests and code review with AI, connecting APIs, a first look at agents and tools, and shipping code you can explain.

Tests and review with AI

20m90 XP

Let AI write the tests, then make them prove something.

Agents and tools

18m80 XP

How AI reaches beyond the chat box into real systems.

When to take the wheel

15m70 XP

Judgement: trusting the agent vs. driving yourself.

How this is built

Interactive-first, no video walls: every lesson opens with something to do, at least 40% of every lesson is hands-on, and every wrong answer gets a specific explanation: rules enforced by an automated pedagogy check on every lesson. Covers the ground of Google AI Essentials-style curricula and maps to the DfE's generative-AI guidance topics.
