Course Syllabus
You’ve probably watched someone use Cursor and thought: “They’re coding twice as fast as me.” They’re not smarter. They just know which features to use and when.
Cursor looks like VS Code — same layout, same extensions, same keyboard shortcuts. But underneath, it’s a fundamentally different tool. AI isn’t bolted on as a sidebar. It’s woven into every interaction: how you write code, navigate files, debug errors, and refactor entire projects.
The problem? Most people install Cursor, use it like a fancier autocomplete, and miss 80% of what it can do.
This course fixes that. In 8 lessons, you’ll learn the full Cursor workflow — from Tab completions to multi-agent background coding. Each lesson builds on the last, and by the end, you’ll have a repeatable system for using Cursor on real projects.
