How it works

Read working code first

Each topic starts with complete code and a note for each step. Then you predict, change and write code.

Short steps

Each screen takes 5 to 10 minutes and ends with a task. Go at your own pace.

AI in three stages

First, Claude explains. Then Claude writes code that you must explain. Then Claude Code does repeated work.

Support from people

You join the course WhatsApp group with your classmates. A mentor contacts you if you stop. A low score gives you a catch-up path, not a fail.
