Learning path

From nothing to a working AI backend

Who it is for

New to software, or new to Python

What you can do after

Write Python confidently, build and ship an API with FastAPI, then put a language model behind it.

3 courses · 74 lessons available · Three courses · take it over months, not weeks

  1. 1

    Core Python

    20 lessons

    Start here even if you have written code elsewhere. Everything after this assumes you can read Python without looking things up.

  2. 2

    FastAPI

    20 lessons

    Your first real program that other software talks to. Routing, validation, databases, auth, and getting it into production.

  3. 3

    Agentic AI

    34 lessons

    Put a model behind the API you can now build. Written against a model running on your own machine, so nothing here needs a paid key.
