This is very very good.

The Ultimate Cursor course helped me understand the more complex features such as composer, file references and working with the codebase. Kevin is also very responsive and happy to help if you get stuck.

I work in public administration and need calculations for all sorts of tasks. Thanks to Kevin's course, I'm now able to create my own little calculation tools.

I'm an experienced Software Engineer and I want to use AI to finish my side projects faster. When I want to learn something new I'm always looking for a mentor.

Kevin did an incredible job with this course! It’s packed with valuable content and is perfectly for both beginners and experts. 💯

Kevin is doing an amazing job and he also shares great knowledge on X, so I recommend to follow him. With instructa.ai he is helping people in understanding better how to use AI coding tools. Even that the majority may seem simple to use, they still require some learning, and this is where this platform can help.

The course has currently +10 modules. It is designed to be completed in one sitting. I've cut everything so we don't focus on too much on unecessary details. I'm not a fan of building 100+ hours courses. Quick learnings, short lessons and action driven methods.
In my course I use mainly Javascript/Typescript with Frameworks like React and Vue and python for smaller examples. But the course is designed to be language agnostic. So if you an C#, Java, Go developer you should be able to adapt the course to your needs.
I'm working on MacOS but the course should work on Windows and Linux as well.
No, the course doesn't include a Cursor AI license. You'll need to obtain that separately from Cursor's website.
Not at the moment. The course is built that you learn the fundamentals and techniques to work on your projects.
