Agentic Coding for Beginners
Your first steps with coding agents: you describe what you want, the agent writes the code, and you learn to read, run and judge the result. We start from zero and build a small working project together, with a trainer who is a practising AI Code Engineer. Everything is explained step by step, with plenty of time for questions.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. We start from the basics and explain every step. Some curiosity for technology is enough.
Which tools will we use?
We choose a well-established coding agent that fits your setup and explain the concepts so you can transfer them to other tools.
Will I be able to build real apps afterwards?
You will be able to build and understand small projects and know how to continue learning safely. Larger products need review by experienced engineers.
