Applied AI for Software Professionals
Understand AI, evaluate AI systems, and work with AI — hands-on, in your browser.
A hands-on course on how modern AI actually works — LLMs, context, RAG, agents — and how to evaluate and work with it in real engineering and testing. You build and run real browser labs, complete a graded capstone, and earn a verifiable certificate. Learning by doing, not slides you watch.

Who it's for
Is this you?
- ✓ Software engineers, QA and test engineers, and technical leads
- ✓ Anyone who ships or tests software and wants to use AI with judgment, not hype
- ✓ People who learn by doing — writing, running, and breaking things
Before you start
What you'll need
- · No formal prerequisite — but general software-development-lifecycle familiarity is assumed
- · Comfort reading a little code (any language) and basic testing concepts
- · No prior AI or machine-learning experience needed — we build it from the ground up
By the end, you can…
1Explain how LLMs really work — tokens, context, RAG, agents — and exactly where they break
2Design and run an evaluation for an AI feature (the discipline teams call “evals”)
3Use AI for real engineering and testing work — and catch it when it's confidently wrong
4Defend a quality decision about an AI system the way a professional would
