Agentic Engineering.

Practical, intense, bleeding edge Agentic Engineering training for Developers of any specialty. Taught by one of the most experienced trainers in Europe.

Introduction

Go from prompt & context engineering to autonomous agent orchestration in one day: learn context and prompt engineering, self-improving skills and subagents, spec-driven development, security and quality guardrails. Jump in now - the gap between AI-native developers and the rest is growing fast.

FAQ

Who is this course for?

The course is designed for engineers of any specialty (Backend, Frontend, Mobile, QA Automation, Data Scientists, DevOps), architects, technical leads and freelancers looking to learn how to build robust, high quality software with AI.

What are the prerequisites for this course?

Prior experience with ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot or (ideally) a CLI tool like Claude Code or Codex.

How is the learning process?

The course is a mix of slides, demos, group discussions, and hands-on exercises.

What tech will be used for demos/exercises?

Claude Code on a full-stack application (Spring Boot + Angular) but the lessons will be applicable to any other AI harness (Codex, Copilot) and tech stack (Py, TS, C#, Kt, …).

Do I need to prepare for this course?

Yes, if you want to get the most of it.
📺 You will get some prep-materials covering the basics.
🛠️ For the hands-on exercises, you will need Claude Code installed (a Pro subscription is enough). You will receive setup instructions ~1 week in advance.

One day only? Isn't it too little time?

It is — the content is dense and the pace is alert ⚠️. That's why I expect all participants to have had prior contact with a CLI coding agent, ideally Claude Code ❤️. You will also receive prep-work a couple of weeks before the date, to have enough time to read and play on your own so we all start from a solid understanding of the fundamentals.
For an extended 2-day version of this workshop to run privately at your company, drop me an email.

Will I receive a certificate?

Yes, you’ll receive a digitally verifiable certificate of accomplishment.

Is the course recorded?

No.
But what you'll get will be far better⭐️ – all slides (packed with links) and a state-of-the-art AI summary of the training transcription, that you can then browse and search.

What is the timeframe of the workshop?

⏱️ 9:00am – 5:00pm CEST (Central European Summer Time)
⏱️ 9:00am – 5:00pm in your current browser time

How can I keep learning after the course?

⭐️ I will answer your emails after the training, and and may occasionally offer free follow-up hours for 1:1 coaching or consultancy.
⭐️ Each participant will learn how to build their own ‘Personal Tutor’ ChatBot that will help them sink into the contents covered over the following weeks.
⭐️ You will receive a list of people to follow and resources for further study.
⭐️ After the course, you'll remain connected with other alumni via group chat.
