Hands-On

Learn By Doing. Not By Watching.

No lectures. No slides. Every lesson drops you into a code editor with a problem to solve.

Write Real Code

Every lesson has a coding exercise. Split-pane editor with Monaco (same as VS Code). Write code, hit Run, see results instantly.

Pass Real Tests

Each exercise has automated tests. Write code to make them pass. Green checkmarks appear as you solve each one. Can’t skip ahead until tests pass.

AI Tutor When You’re Stuck

Claude-powered tutor that sees your code and the exercise. Asks guiding questions instead of giving answers. Socratic method, not cheat codes.

XP, Streaks, Badges

Earn XP for every exercise. Maintain daily streaks. Unlock achievement badges. Compete on the weekly leaderboard. Build in public.

What You'll Build

Each track ends with a capstone project. Real code. Real deployment. Portfolio-worthy.

Autonomous Research Agent

Agent Fundamentals

An agent that takes a question, searches the web, synthesizes findings, and writes a structured report. Complete with source attribution.

Code Review Agent

Claude Agent SDK

A Claude-powered agent that reviews PRs, identifies bugs, suggests fixes, and explains its reasoning. Hooks into GitHub.

Production MCP Server

MCP Servers

A Rust MCP server with PostgreSQL, rate limiting, and auth. Deployed to Cloud Run. Usable by any AI agent.

Content Pipeline

Multi-Agent Systems

A multi-agent system: scraper agent finds content, analyst agent scores it, writer agent summarizes, editor agent reviews.

Agent Monitoring Dashboard

Production Agents

A production monitoring setup: cost tracking, quality evaluation, error rates, latency. Alerts when agents go off-rails.

Agent-Native Todo App

Agent-Native Apps

A full-stack app where an AI agent manages your tasks. Natural language input, streaming responses, smart prioritization.

INTERACTIVE EDITOR

Write Code. Pass Tests. Ship Agents.

Every lesson drops you into a split-pane environment: instructions on the left, code editor on the right. Write your solution, hit Run, watch tests go green.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Agent Fundamentals really free?
Yes. 8 modules, 32 lessons, quizzes, a capstone project, and certification — completely free. No credit card. No trial. No catch. We want everyone to understand agents.
What programming experience do I need?
Agent Fundamentals starts with zero code. By module 3 you’ll write Python. The Claude Agent SDK track assumes basic Python or TypeScript. MCP Servers assumes intermediate Rust or TypeScript.
How is this different from reading docs?
You build things. Every lesson has a code editor, automated tests, and a real exercise. You can’t just read and click ‘Next.’ Tests must pass. The AI tutor helps when you’re stuck. Docs tell you what. We make you do it.
Do I get real certification?
Yes. Each track has a certification exam. Pass at 80% and get a verifiable certificate with a public URL. Add it to LinkedIn. Embed it in your GitHub profile.
What AI APIs does this cover?
Primarily Claude (Anthropic). The Agent SDK track uses the official Anthropic SDK. Concepts transfer to any LLM, but we teach with the best tools available.
Can I track my progress?
Yes. XP, streaks, achievements, completion percentages — all tracked. Public profile page. Weekly leaderboard. Resume anywhere, any device.
