Work with real Java problems
Practice reasoning about services, tests, stack traces, unfamiliar code, and refactoring decisions.
Practical AI for Java Developers
Get really good at using AI for Java development.
Learn how to use AI for real software engineering work — understanding unfamiliar code, debugging, testing, refactoring, and making better technical decisions.
Not by blindly accepting what the model says. By learning how to question it, constrain it, and verify its work.

AI skills for developers who already know how to code.
This is not another introduction to ChatGPT. It is a practical course about using AI inside real software engineering workflows.
Learn judgment, not prompt tricks
Separate evidence from assumptions, control scope, challenge weak answers, and verify before you trust.
Prove what you learned
Every module includes an assessment designed to test how you actually use and evaluate AI.
The curriculum
Seven modules. One practical progression.
Start with the fundamentals of trustworthy AI-assisted engineering and build toward larger, more ambiguous Java work.
01
Using AI Like a Software Engineer
Build the judgment needed to use AI effectively without treating its output as authoritative.
02
Prompting for Real Java Work
Give AI the right context, constraints, evidence, and output expectations for useful engineering work.
03
Understanding Unfamiliar Java Code
Trace behavior across classes, separate evidence from assumptions, and interrogate unfamiliar systems.
04
Debugging Java with AI
Turn logs, exceptions, and code into testable hypotheses instead of jumping straight to speculative fixes.
05
Testing and Verifying with AI
Use AI to strengthen tests while keeping verification and engineering judgment in your hands.
06
Refactoring and Designing with AI
Evaluate design suggestions, control scope, preserve behavior, and avoid unnecessary architecture.
07
Advanced AI-Assisted Java Work
Bring the techniques together for larger, ambiguous engineering tasks that require disciplined reasoning.
Assessments that test more than memorization.
Knowing what a good prompt looks like is different from actually writing one when the problem is ambiguous.
That is why each module mixes traditional questions with practical AI exercises.
Multiple-choice questions that test core concepts
Prompt-writing challenges based on realistic engineering scenarios
AI-response reviews where you identify unsupported or risky advice
Structured feedback on your written answers

Prompt writing challenge
A production service throws a null-pointer exception during rescheduling. Write the prompt you would use to investigate it safely.
Analyze the failure using the supplied code and stack trace. First, separate what the evidence proves from what is still unknown...

FAQ
Before you start
Do I need to be an experienced Java developer?
You should already understand basic Java development. The course is designed for developers, not complete programming beginners.
Do I need previous AI experience?
No. We start with the engineering habits that make AI useful and build toward more advanced workflows.
How long does the course take?
Most developers should expect roughly 5–7 hours. The course is self-paced, so you can work through it on your own schedule.
What are the assessments like?
They go beyond multiple choice. You will also write prompts and critique AI responses, with structured AI-assisted grading and feedback.
What do I need to pass?
Each module assessment requires a score of 80% or higher before you progress through the course.
Do I receive a certificate?
Yes. After completing the full course and passing the required assessments, you can earn a Certificate of Completion for Applied AI Skills for Java Development.
