How it works

Three steps to shipped.

  1. Set up your tools

    Get a working dev environment and meet the AI assistants you'll build alongside — no prior experience needed.

  2. Build real projects

    Follow project-first lessons where every concept lands in something you actually make, not just read about.

  3. Ship it live

    Deploy your capstone to the web and share it — then showcase it to the community.

Your instructor

Taught by someone who still ships.

Chan Meng builds production AI systems for paying customers, then teaches the same methods here. She has run five cohorts since 2024 and keeps every lesson free and in both languages — because the material that got her started was free too.
