Boost Coding with Cursor AI

What if your IDE could read your repo, plan a refactor, and write the patch—while you stayed in control of every merge? This Short Course was created to help Software Development professionals master AI-assisted coding workflows with Cursor. By completing this course, you'll configure Cursor inside your IDE, craft scoped prompts that produce compilable refactors, and evaluate AI-generated pull requests for security, privacy, and secret exposure before approving them. By the end of this course, you will be able to: ● Configure Cursor within an existing development environment and connect it to the project repository ● Apply scoped prompt techniques to generate and insert refactored code that compiles successfully ● Evaluate AI-generated code changes for security, privacy, and secret-management compliance This course is unique because it treats AI coding as an engineering discipline—repository-aware, merge-ready, and secure—not just prompt tricks. To succeed, you should have intermediate software development experience, including Git and IDE fluency.
