Zero to Coder: AI-Powered Coding Workshop
A workshop for beginners started, and Cursor-users to the next level in one afternoon.
By the end, you'll be able to:
a) Host a website with a database and chatbot,
b) Analyse data and produce beautiful charts
b) Use Cursor to squeeze the most out of AI models
The workshop is led by Jethro Reeve. He started using AI to code in October 2023, building tools for campaignlab.uk. He's now a full-time software developer at coefficient.ai.

Setup Steps
Follow these steps before the workshop to get ahead:
Check you can access:
lovable.dev or Bolt.new
Create a free acount on:
vercel.com (Use your Github login!)

Open Cursor and ask the agent:
"Install Homebrew, Node.js and git on my system (Mac only), then authenticate my GitHub account through CLI web browser login"
NB: This installation is slower on old machines!

Testimonials
"What I was looking for was a space to get over the initial friction to get started (mainly it being intimidating, and it feeling very possible to break things), and this definitely provided that. Going from "I don't think I can do this" to "I can probably do this" feels like a big jump. Felt safe to ask "dumb" questions." - Ella
"I felt empowered to actually go and explore these tools. As much as the AI can answer questions, it’s invaluable to have a human with the context and personal experience there to support!" - Francesca
"Stop reading these testimonials and go do this workshop, it will make you feel like a web dev in less than an hour!!" - Martim
