Closed Captioning available in English
Overview
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to use Cursor to accelerate modern software development workflows with AI. Starting from the fundamentals of AI-assisted coding, you’ll explore how Cursor extends VS Code with intelligent agents, context-aware prompting, MCP integrations, and automation workflows. Through a real-world full-stack application project, you’ll learn how to generate frontend code from designs, integrate backend services, automate testing, and build production-ready AI engineering workflows.
What I will be able to do after this course
- Understand how Cursor works and how AI-powered development environments improve productivity
- Use Cursor chat modes, Agent Mode, and context engineering techniques effectively
- Build a full-stack application using AI-assisted workflows with frontend, backend, authentication, and testing
- Integrate MCP tools, automation workflows, and multi-agent systems into development processes
- Create production-ready AI engineering workflows with automated testing, code review, and quality enforcement
Course Instructor(s)
The instructors are experienced AI engineering practitioners, software architects, and developer educators specializing in AI-assisted development workflows, modern web engineering, and developer productivity tooling. They have extensive experience working with Cursor, MCP integrations, full-stack application architecture, and automation-driven engineering practices, helping teams adopt AI-native development workflows at scale.
Who is it for?
This workshop is designed for software developers, frontend and full-stack engineers, technical leads, engineering managers, and architects who want to integrate AI into their development workflows using Cursor. It is especially useful for teams exploring AI-assisted coding, agent-driven workflows, MCP tooling, and modern automation practices. Familiarity with modern JavaScript or web development concepts is recommended.
