Architecture, Databases, and Collaboration

AI coding assistants can do far more than write code. In this course, you'll learn to use them for the full spectrum of software engineering work. Starting with production code analysis and performance optimization, you'll move on to AI-assisted testing, security vulnerability detection, and dependency management. Then you'll apply AI to higher-level challenges: designing configuration-driven architectures, optimizing database schemas and queries, and building effective human-AI collaboration workflows. The course focuses on tool-agnostic principles and prompting strategies that work across any AI assistant, so the skills you gain apply no matter which tools you use.
