AI-Assisted Full-Stack Web Development
Learn to build complete web applications faster, without giving up quality or control.
About this course
Learn to build complete web applications faster, without giving up quality or control. You will work across the full stack, creating responsive front ends, a back-end API and a database, while using AI coding assistants to plan features, generate and explain code, write tests and refactor.
Just as important, you will learn to review AI output critically, protect secrets and data, respect licensing and keep your code secure. The course ends with a capstone project that you build, test and deploy yourself.
