Get Ready
Before our first session, here's what you'll need, what to expect, and what you'll walk away with after one month.
What You Need to Succeed
This program works best when you show up prepared. None of this is meant to scare you off — it's here so you know exactly what you're signing up for.
- A personal computer — this is not a phone-only program
- Ideally two screens: one to watch, one to practice
- Stable internet connection for live sessions
- Google Chrome browser (needed for extension week)
- A GitHub account (we'll set this up together if needed)
- Willingness to use ChatGPT and the OpenAI API
- A Cursor account (we'll set this up together if needed)
- Budget for $20 for one month of Cursor
- Commitment of 5 hours per week — sessions plus practice
- Be fully present during sessions — cameras on, distractions off
This Is Not a Class to Watch
If you're looking for something to play in the background while you do other things, this isn't it.
This is hands-on from the first minute. You'll build a live website, a browser game, a Chrome extension with AI chat, and a useful capstone tool — real projects you can share, not toy examples.
I'll walk you step by step, hand in hand, toward becoming someone who can build with AI — not someone who watches others build.
Come ready to type, experiment, ask questions, and push through the moments when it feels hard. That's where the growth happens.
