/WORKSHOPS

Learn the workflow.
Then build for real.

Three workshop days designed to take you from an idea to a working web application — with AI as part of your engineering workflow.

Planning &
Development Workflow

Turning a problem into a structured development plan before writing code.

  • Understand requirements & constraints
  • Break a project into features
  • Plan application structure
  • Think about frontend/backend responsibilities
  • Use AI strategically in planning

Full-Stack Development & Debugging

Turning the plan into a working application and learning how to diagnose problems when things break.

  • Connect frontend and backend logic
  • Work with application state and data
  • Implement and consume APIs
  • Understand errors and debug systematically
  • Use AI to investigate, not just rewrite
DAY_03

Deployment, Domains & Production Readiness

The final preparation stage. Take the application from localhost to a real production URL, point a domain at it, make it discoverable, and measure it.

MODULE_FOCUS:

Deploy → Domain → Index → Measure.

// Session times to be announced.

How They Connect

Hover over the execution path to inspect stage capabilities.

DAY_01
PLAN
Gain the capability to dissect a problem and architect a robust solution before writing a single line of code.
DAY_02
BUILD
+ DEBUG
Connect the pieces. Build the logic, manage state, and deploy systematic debugging techniques when issues arise.
DAY_03
REFINE
Ship it. Deploy with Vercel, configure DNS with Cloudflare, submit to search engines, and measure with PageSpeed Insights.
PROGRAMMING JAM
SHIP
Put it all together in a high-stakes environment. Build a working product from scratch without the tutorial wheels.

Not just three workshops.

A Development Workflow.

Plan

Turn requirements into an actionable development strategy.

Build

Translate that plan into a working web application.

Debug

Investigate problems systematically instead of guessing.

Ship

Finish and present something that actually works.
