Credits: Optional Learning

Description

This course teaches learners how to understand and apply generative AI in practical software development contexts. Starting from foundational AI and prompt engineering concepts, learners progress to working directly with the OpenAI API in Python and JavaScript, then apply generative AI to real programming tasks including debugging, testing, and optimization, before exploring AI-assisted development workflows using Claude Code and Codex CLI.
