You know how to write code. Now you’ll learn how to get it built. In this 2-day bootcamp, you’ll develop a real app from day one—with a coding agent as your pair-programming partner who doesn’t complain and isn’t afraid to leave pull request comments. No slide deck. No demo code you’ll never touch again. Instead: your project, your tech stack, your decisions.
Every morning, there’s a short theory session—precise insights into prompting strategies, agent workflows, and the areas where developers typically lose time. Then it’s time to get to work: in sprints and with real-world problems.
At the end of each day, we do a 20-minute review:
- What did the agent do well?
- Where did it lead you astray?
- Which patterns work, and which don’t?
The group’s feedback shapes the input for the next morning.
After the bootcamp, you won’t just know how agentic coding works. You’ll know how it feels—and where the boundaries lie that you, as a developer, need to set.
Agenda
We’ll start with theory and identifying topics to get things going. Then, over the course of three sprints, we’ll develop a working system. Each sprint concludes with a retrospective and a group discussion to share experiences. The next morning begins with theory that directly addresses these experiences.
There’s no set curriculum. The first day shapes the second.
Audience
- Software developers who are not yet using AI / Agentic Engineering in production
- Software architects who want to start applying Agentic Engineering
- Project managers, product owners, and Scrum Masters who want to understand how Agentic Engineering works in practice
Training Objectives
You’ve built a system yourself using your coding agent.
You have a realistic understanding of how coding agents work, what they can do out of the box, and where they need you as an architect or developer.
You’ve gained your first-hand experience with how agents actually behave—not just in a demo, but in your own code.
You have a starting point for understanding how AI works in a development environment and ideas about what might be needed for your company to benefit from AI as well.
