Unlock the full potential of Cursor and supercharge your coding workflow! This practical course helps developers use AI-assisted coding in real daily work — from setup and core features to building a real project, writing better prompts, and creating repeatable AI workflows inside the editor.
Throughout the course, you’ll explore:
Cursor Fundamentals: Set up Cursor and learn its core features like Agent, Tab, chat, code generation, code editing, and working with your codebase more effectively.
Cursor Basics for Real Use: Understand why Cursor matters, common developer use cases, pricing plans and limitations, and key privacy and workflow basics you should know before using AI tools in daily development.
Working with Agent and Context: Learn how to work with Cursor Agent, provide the right project context, use @-mentions, and write clearer prompts so Cursor gives more accurate and useful results.
Real-World Project (Currency Converter App): Build a modern Currency Converter App with Cursor end to end: create a development plan, implement the UI, style it, add input limits and number formatting, replace custom logic with a library, write unit tests, and generate documentation.
Optimizing Your Workflow: Learn how Cursor indexes your project, how to control access with .cursorignore, and how to create reusable instructions with Rules for more consistent AI outputs.
Advanced Cursor Features: Explore Skills, Subagents, Hooks, MCP, and Cloud Agents to build more powerful and repeatable development workflows.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to use Cursor with confidence: plan features, generate and refactor code, write tests, document your work, and build reusable AI workflows that save hours every week.
Set up the Cursor-powered editor and turbo-charge your workflow with quick-start prompts, smart tab completions, inline chat, and a full chat interface—all within minutes.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
