Boost your coding with Windsurf, the AI-powered IDE that helps you build, debug, and deploy faster.

Build Smarter with AI-Powered Development



Software development is evolving with the rise of AI-assisted tools, and Windsurf is leading the way. This course introduces you to this coding IDE, designed to understand your projects, streamline workflows, and accelerate development with AI. You’ll learn how to set up a context-aware workspace, leverage Cascade’s Chat and Write modes, and build functional applications faster than ever before.


Master AI-Driven Coding Tools



Go beyond simple autocomplete with Windsurf’s advanced features. Practice using semantic search, web and doc integrations, and Cascade’s agentic workflows to debug, refactor, and expand your projects. Learn how to define rules that enforce coding standards, use memory for long-term context, and automate repetitive tasks with custom workflows.


Develop and Deploy Real Applications



Put your skills into practice by building a full-stack React and Node.js news app. You’ll scaffold projects in minutes, secure them with JWT authentication and OWASP-based checks, and deploy them to production with monitoring agents to ensure reliability. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to confidently create, secure, and deploy applications using Windsurf’s AI-powered development environment.
