Overview

This artificial intelligence (AI) coding course is designed for those who want to build useful applications with AI—no prior programming or coding experience is required to get started. You will learn how to use modern AI coding tools from companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic to move from an idea to a working application and gain practical experience programming with AI.

This AI coding course introduces you to tools and workflows associated with platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, and Claude Code, while also helping you understand how to evaluate different options as the AI coding landscape continues to evolve. You will begin with essential technical foundations, including working with files, browsers, Visual Studio Code, GitHub, the command line, and basic web concepts. From there, you will practice coding with AI as you build and publish a personal portfolio site, create an interactive quiz game, work with APIs, and build applications that use public and AI APIs.

As the course progresses, you will learn how to turn plain-English ideas into structured specifications that AI coding tools can use to help generate working software. You will also learn how to review AI-generated code, test applications, debug problems, improve existing projects, and use agentic coding workflows to manage more complex builds.

By the end of this AI programming course, you will have completed several hands-on projects and a capstone application of your own design. You will leave with practical experience using AI-assisted coding workflows to build applications that solve real problems, communicate your ideas clearly to AI tools, and evaluate the results with greater confidence.
