Participants will build real-world applications from simple boilerplates to sophisticated AI-powered systems, culminating in a professional portfolio that demonstrates mastery of modern AI agent development.
Key Learning Areas
Modern Full-Stack AI Development: Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript with AI-powered tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude Desktop, VS Code Insider)
MCP Server Architecture: Build, deploy, and integrate Model Context Protocol servers for AI agent communication and CRUD operations
Enterprise Authentication & Security: Auth.js OAuth implementation, session management, and production security patterns
Advanced RAG System Development: Professional Digital Twin systems with 12-step methodology, STAR profile optimization, and recruiter-ready deployment
Database & ORM Integration: Prisma ORM with Vercel Neon Postgres for scalable AI application data management
AI-Enhanced Development Workflow: 'Vibe coding' with v0.dev, automated deployment pipelines, and professional portfolio development
Production Deployment & Monitoring: Enterprise-grade deployment with 24/7 monitoring, scalability testing, and performance optimization
Program Structure
Three comprehensive cycles designed for progressive full-stack mastery
Establish a professional AI Agent Developer foundation through comprehensive environment setup, modern web development mastery, and MCP server architecture. Begin with AI-powered development environments including Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, and MCP server integrations. Progress through 'vibe coding' workflows using v0.dev to create AI-generated CV websites with Next.js 15 and React 19. Build production-ready full-stack Person Apps with Prisma ORM and Vercel Neon Postgres integration. Culminate with developing MCP servers that enable AI agents to perform CRUD operations, bridging traditional web development with AI agent communication protocols.
Transform your applications into enterprise-ready AI systems through comprehensive security implementation and advanced RAG development. Secure your Person App with Auth.js OAuth authentication and enterprise-grade session management. Develop sophisticated Digital Twin RAG systems using the complete 12-step methodology, progressing from local development through advanced optimization to production deployment. Master professional profile creation using STAR methodology, advanced query processing, and multi-platform integration. Achieve 24/7 enterprise-grade deployment with comprehensive monitoring, scalability testing, and performance optimization suitable for professional recruiting interactions.
Consolidate your expertise into a cohesive professional portfolio that demonstrates comprehensive AI agent development mastery. Integrate all completed projects into an enhanced version of your Week 2 CV website, implementing advanced MCP tool calling functionality that connects your Person App, Digital Twin system, and MCP servers. Create compelling technical case studies and professional branding elements suitable for industry presentation. Culminate with a comprehensive 20-minute industry presentation showcasing your complete learning journey, career development planning, and professional network establishment, positioning yourself as a qualified AI Agent Developer specialist.
Weekly Curriculum
Detailed breakdown of each week's learning objectives and deliverables
Overview
Transform into an AI Agent Developer by mastering the modern development mindset and establishing a comprehensive development environment with cutting-edge AI tools. This foundational week focuses intensively on understanding the revolutionary shift in software development where AI agents are becoming central to enterprise systems. Participants will configure a professional-grade development environment including Node.js, Visual Studio Code Insider, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Desktop integration. We'll primarily use Claude Desktop for MCP server integration because its developer mode is completely free, making it accessible to all students, while also exploring ChatGPT's new Developer Mode with MCP tools (available in beta to Pro and Plus accounts on the web) for comparison. Through hands-on workshops, you'll connect to and use three distinct existing MCP servers (Rolldice, Bootcamp AI Agent, Calendar Booking), understand MCP protocol architecture, and establish AI-powered development workflows that will serve as the foundation for the entire 10-week program. By week's end, you'll have a fully functional development environment with integrated AI tools and practical experience using MCP servers that enhance large language model capabilities across both Claude and ChatGPT platforms.
