Who is this workshop for?

A 2-5 Day Hands-On Workshop
Bruce Eckel and Cody Bontecou
9AM - 1PM
3 sessions/day: 20min lecture + 1 hour exercise
It is designed for working programmers and engineering teams that want practical ways to use AI in existing development workflows, not a general introduction to programming.
The curriculum can run for two to five days. The full schedule uses three sessions per day from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with short lectures followed by hands-on exercises.
The 15 lessons cover foundations, framework constraints, review and documentation, refactoring, security and failure modes, context engineering, CI, APIs, team adoption, reusable prompts, and cross-language work.
The applied sprint asks each participant to scope, build, and demonstrate a useful internal tool such as a deployment script, parser, generator, automation, or data transformer.
Bruce Eckel, author and programming educator, teaches with Cody Bontecou, a developer focused on practical AI-assisted software workflows.
