π€ New Courses: Agentic Coding + AI Agents
|
Hello Reader, Two new courses are live today. Start by learning to work with AI coding agents, then build an agent of your own. Learn Agentic Coding (Free)AI coding agents can read a codebase, edit several files at once and run tests alongside you. This course shows you how to give them the right context, check what they change and keep your project safe. Inside, you'll: βοΈ Write prompts that get targeted, useful changes πΊοΈ Break bigger tasks down with plan mode π§ͺ Check agent changes with tests and Git π Connect agents to external tools with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) All you need is a free Scrimba account.
Learn AI Agents (Pro)Learn AI Agents is our 50th Pro course, and it's where you go from using agents to building one. You'll write the agent loop from scratch, with no framework hiding the steps. By the end, you'll have OpenSwap, a working AI app that searches real data and checks live project health through the GitHub API. Inside, you'll: π Build the agent loop by hand π§° Define tools with schemas a model can use reliably π Ground answers in your own data and live APIs π¬ Save conversations for follow-up questions It's part of the AI Engineer Path and also available on its own. If you've built a few JavaScript projects, you're ready. Still learning? Start with our free Learn JavaScript course. Upgrade once and you unlock all 50 Pro courses, plus all four career paths, AI-powered feedback on your code and the Pro Discord channels. The way we build software has changed. Be the developer who builds the agents, not just the one who prompts them.

Hello Reader, Explain has had a busy week. Here's what's new. π€ Explainers from ChatGPT πΌοΈ More pictures. Your ratings told us you want more visuals, so explainers made in ChatGPT now lean towards images and infographics. An image created with Explain in ChatGPT. Watch the Explainer here. π¬ A quick check before cinematic requests. Explain makes narrated, image-based explainers rather than film or 3D animation. If you ask ChatGPT for cinematic footage or a 3D animation, it now checks with you...
Hello Reader If it feels like AI isn't pumping the brakes anytime soon, you're not imagining it. This month alone brought a new model, new tools, and a whole new way to practice on Scrimba. Blink and there's another release. But this is also the last edition of September, which means spooky season is officially loading. So grab your pumpkin spice latte and let's close out the month together. Want to make sure the newsletter lands in your inbox each week? Sign up by clicking the button below:...
Hello Reader There's a particular kind of tab you keep open for three days. A long article, a dense docs page, a Hacker News thread with four hundred comments you fully intend to get to. Most of what we learn arrives as text we don't quite have the energy for. That's roughly what this month of building has been about. Explain picked up a pile of new features, and the thread running through all of them is the same: take the thing you were going to skim, and make it watchable. So, how long has...
