What you’ll learn
Day 1
#1
The Agenic Coder. A fresh look at AI First Coding
Agentic Coding is a relief for software engineers. We will talk about how useful and enjoyable it can be to use agentic coding.
#2
Software & Tools Overview (Cursor vs VSCode, CodiClaude Code, Codex, ChatGPT)
I will show you the differences between existing coding agents so you can decide when to use CLI, IDE, or a code editor, and in which situations each is best.
#3
Agentic Coding in Practice
We’ll start with a fresh project right away. I will guide you through the project setup, agent rules, document ingestion, slash commands, Git setup, and logging.
Short break
#4
LLMs & Models
We'll discuss which LLM to use and when. We’ll cover context windows, how to keep up with weekly model updates, and how to decide when to use Claude, GPT, Grok, or other models.
#5
Prompt engineering
Learn how to prompt effectively and use English as your daily driver with the AI coding agent. You’ll see how to structure and format prompts to get the most out of them.
#6
Context Engineering
Especially in larger codebases, you need to maintain context for your coding agent. We’ll cover how to avoid context rot, and how to use available tools to stay productive and reduce hallucinations.

From the Community
The Ultimate Cursor course helped me understand the more complex features such as composer, file references and working with the codebase. Kevin is also very responsive and happy to help if you get stuck.
Dima
I work in public administration and need calculations for all sorts of tasks. Thanks to Kevin's course, I'm now able to create my own little calculation tools.
Pascal S
I was lucky to be one of the "founding" members :D Thanks @kregenrek!!
Madson Mac
@madsonmacI'm an experienced Software Engineer and I want to use AI to finish my side projects faster. When I want to learn something new I'm always looking for a mentor.
Ren
@N7RenKevin did an incredible job with this course! It’s packed with valuable content and is perfectly for both beginners and experts. 💯
Lukas Gutwinski
@LukasGutwinskiYer the man. Huge thanks for this! 🫡
Rex Harris
@teereximusThanks for this. Super helpful.
Tim Wijaya
@itsTimWijayaAmazing write up 👏
George Siosi Samuels
@GeorgeSiosiKevin is doing an amazing job and he also shares great knowledge on X, so I recommend to follow him. With instructa.ai he is helping people in understanding better how to use AI coding tools. Even that the majority may seem simple to use, they still require some learning, and this is where this platform can help.
