Cursor AI Intensive Training
Beginner · 5 half days or flexible as in-house training · Remote · Open Training or In-House
In this intensive workshop, you'll get to know Cursor AI from the ground up and master all the features for professional software development. You'll learn how to use the AI as an intelligent pair-programming partner to generate, refactor and debug code.
We'll show you how to work with Cursor's context awareness, define your own AI Rules and make optimal use of the various models (OpenAI, Claude, etc) for your tasks. By the end of the course, you'll have established a complete development workflow with Cursor and will be able to boost your productivity dramatically.
Agenda
Basics & Setup
- Cursor AI vs. traditional IDEs – what makes the difference?
- Installation and configuration for optimal performance
- The Cursor philosophy: AI as a pair-programming partner
- First steps: chat, inline editing and command palette
- API keys and model selection (OpenAI, Claude, your own models)
- Configuring workspace setup and project context
Code Generation & Completion
- Tab completion on steroids
- Natural language to code: from description to implementation
- Multi-file editing: coordinating changes across multiple files
- Generating code templates and boilerplate intelligently
- Test generation: unit tests, integration tests, E2E tests
- Documentation as code: creating comments and docs automatically
Context & Intelligence
- Codebase context: how Cursor understands your entire project
- @-mentions: referencing files, functions and documentation
- Web search integration for up-to-date documentation
- Image-to-code: implementing screenshots and mockups
- Git integration: commits, PRs and code reviews with AI
- Custom instructions and AI rules for a consistent code style
Refactoring & Debugging
- Intelligent refactoring: carrying out large restructurings safely
- Code review with AI: tracking down bugs and code smells
- Getting performance optimizations suggested
- Modernizing and understanding legacy code
- Error analysis: interpreting stack traces and logs
- Fix suggestions in real time during development
DevOps & Automation
- Generating infrastructure as code with Cursor
- Creating and debugging CI/CD pipelines
- Shell scripts and automation tools
- Monitoring and logging setup with AI support
- Prompt engineering for developers
- Security considerations: secrets and sensitive data
- Team workflows: shared AI rules and conventions
- Performance vs. cost: optimizing model selection
- Integration into existing development processes
- Hands-on project: building a full-stack app with Cursor
What you should know
- Basic programming skills in at least one language (JavaScript, Python, Java, etc.)
- Experience with Git and basic version control concepts
- Laptop running Windows, Linux or macOS
- Stable internet connection for accessing the AI models
- Willingness to experiment – together we'll explore new ways of developing software
No fear of AI required! We start from scratch and build up your understanding step by step. DevOps experience is helpful, but not strictly necessary.
The course “Cursor AI” is aimed at Beginner.
