Uncover how Cursor rewrites the rules of AI-assisted coding. In this Chapter, You’ll explore how this next-generation AI IDE turns the chaos of “just prompting” into a structured, collaborative loop where you and AI think, code, and iterate together. From your first setup to defining your team’s rules, you’ll see how Cursor transforms coding from a solo act into a duet.

Hello, Cursor

How Cursor redefines the code editor

Maximizing Productivity and Ensuring Security

Cursor is a next-generation AI IDE that transforms how you write, debug, and ship code. In this course, you'll master Cursor from the ground up, starting with the fundamentals of the developer–AI collaboration loop and learning how to choose the right mode for every task—whether it's a quick inline edit, a multi-file refactor, or a full-featured build with Agent Mode. You'll learn how to craft context-rich prompts using @ references and slash commands, guiding Cursor to produce accurate, production-ready output. From there, you'll dive into advanced workflows: multi-file orchestration, Test-Driven Development with Cursor Browser, and smarter debugging through precise context. Finally, you'll unlock Cursor's full potential by integrating Git for version control, creating custom commands for automation, running parallel agents with Composer, and scaling to complex codebases using Max Mode and MCP servers. By the end, you'll have the skills to turn Cursor into your most powerful coding partner—boosting productivity, reducing errors, and adapting seamlessly to both personal and team workflows.
