ABOUT THIS COURSE

This course equips you with the skills to build, test, and deploy modern web applications using Windsurf AI. You’ll create a leaderboard system for a Snake game, using JavaScript for the backend, HTML/CSS for the frontend, and Jest for automated testing. You’ll learn to use AI to write, refactor, and validate code for faster, more reliable development. Next, you’ll explore integrating CI/CD workflows using Cascade. You’ll write YAML configurations, debug pipelines, and set up one-click deployments. You’ll also manage AI usage with dashboards, monitor team analytics, control billing, and apply responsible AI policies. By the end of the course, you’ll use multimodal models to turn UI mockups into code, generate docs from screenshots, and reason over diagrams. You’ll streamline pull requests, encode team rules into AI, and enhance reviews using Model Context Protocol (MCP), Rules, and Memories.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
