The missing layer

AI can write code. You still need to steer.

Starting is easy now. The hard part comes ten prompts later, when a feature breaks, a file makes no sense, or the agent confidently changes the wrong thing.

You do not need to become a senior engineer. You need the fundamentals that let you read the map: what the pieces do, what good work looks like, and how to verify the result.

This course gives you that map, then helps you use it on a real build.

The DevLaunch companion sits at a desk looking puzzled, surrounded by floating browser windows, sticky notes, and unopened boxes.

What changes by the end

You stop watching the agent work and start knowing what to do next.

Read the work. Direct the tool. Ship with confidence.

01

Set up a real development environment

The editor, terminal, files, and a verified AI coding setup.

02

Read and make sense of unfamiliar code

Understand the files, code, and errors in front of you.

03

Break an idea into buildable features

Give AI enough structure to do useful, verifiable work.

04

Debug problems instead of guessing

Reproduce problems, read errors, test theories, and verify fixes.

05

Connect a project to data and APIs

Requests, responses, databases, secrets, and safe defaults.

06

Deploy a working project to the web

Test the result, deploy it, and know how to change it later.

Eight modules, one complete foundation

From an empty folder to a working app.

Every module contains multiple focused video lessons, a practical exercise, and a clear checkpoint.

  1. Module 01 · Free module

    Your first build

    Set up your coding environment, meet the tools, and build something real with us from a blank folder.

    • The editor, terminal, files, and folders
    • Install and verify your AI coding setup
    • Build and run your first small project
  2. Module 02 · Self-paced

    How code actually works

    Learn the small set of ideas hiding underneath almost every application, without a computer-science detour.

    • Values, variables, conditions, and loops
    • Functions, inputs, outputs, and state
    • Read unfamiliar code without freezing
  3. Module 03 · Self-paced

    The web from the ground up

    Understand what the browser is doing and how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fit together.

    • Structure pages with HTML
    • Create layouts and styles with CSS
    • Add behavior with JavaScript
  4. Module 04 · Self-paced + Q&A

    Your AI coding tools

    See what AI coding agents can do, where they lose the plot, and how to give them useful working context.

    • Models, agents, tools, and context
    • Choose the right mode for the job
    • Prompt with requirements and evidence
  5. Module 05 · Self-paced

    Plan work before you prompt

    Turn a fuzzy idea into small, testable steps that you and your coding agent can both follow.

    • Define the user and the outcome
    • Break features into buildable slices
    • Create a practical project plan
  6. Module 06 · Self-paced + Q&A

    Debug with a system

    Stop changing random things. Learn how to reproduce problems, read errors, test theories, and verify fixes.

    • Read errors and trace symptoms
    • Use logs, tests, and browser tools
    • Get AI help without hiding the bug
  7. Module 07 · Self-paced

    Data, APIs, and real apps

    Connect the front end to data and outside services while understanding the security boundaries involved.

    • Requests, responses, and JSON
    • Databases and basic data models
    • Secrets, authentication, and safe defaults
  8. Module 08 · Build lab + Q&A

    Ship it and keep it healthy

    Take a project from your machine to the internet, then learn the habits that make the next change easier.

    • Git, versions, and safe checkpoints
    • Deploy and verify a production build
    • Document, maintain, and extend your app

How it works

A course built around momentum.

  • Start with Module 1. Set up the tools and complete the first build, so you do not begin alone with an empty editor. It is free.
  • Move at your own pace. Each module is broken into focused videos and hands-on steps you can finish around your actual schedule.
  • Bring your questions live. Join live Q&A sessions for help with the lessons, the tools, or the specific project you are trying to build.

Questions

Before you join.

Do I need coding experience?

No. This course starts with the editor, terminal, files, and the core concepts that make code readable. If you have experimented with AI coding already, it will also help you fill in the gaps that cause projects to become fragile.

Is the whole course live?

No. Module 1 was taught live on Friday, August 28, 2026 and is now in the portal. The remaining modules are designed to complete at your own pace, with live Q&A sessions during the week so you can get unstuck and ask questions about your own build.

Which AI coding tool will we use?

We will demonstrate modern agent-based tools, but the fundamentals are tool-independent. You will learn a workflow you can use with Codex, Claude Code, and other capable coding agents.

What will I build?

You will build small exercises as you learn, then bring the pieces together into a working web project that uses a real interface, data, and deployment.

How long do I have access?

Your purchase includes lifetime access to the course lessons and included course resources, so you can revisit the fundamentals whenever your projects get more ambitious.

Is the payment plan a subscription?

No ongoing subscription. The payment plan is exactly two payments of $165, 30 days apart, for a total of $330.

Build things that work
