Event details

About the event

This hands-on workshop is the next step for non-technical builders who are already using coding agents.

Who it’s for

Non-technical builders who have already started a project with a coding agent but do not have traditional software engineering training.

You do not need to know how to code. Bring your current project, your questions, and the coding agent you already use.

A professional software engineer will work alongside you as you improve your application, understand what the agent is changing, and learn how to avoid common mistakes.

This is not an introduction to coding agents. It is a practical introduction to the software engineering fundamentals that help you keep building, debugging, and improving your project without guessing.

What you’ll do

- Build or continue building a real web application.

- Use GitHub to save and manage your project.

- Deploy your application with Vercel.

- Learn the software engineering concepts relevant to your project.

- Better understand what your coding agent generates and changes.

- Learn basic security considerations and common mistakes.

- Leave with clear next steps for continuing on your own.
