Course 01 · AI Engineer in 10 Weeks

Learn what is under the hood of the AI you ship.

For builders who already ship with AI coding agents. One visual lesson a day: diagrams you step through, code you read line by line, and Python that runs right in your browser.

  • 01 Week 1 is free, no card
  • 02 Python runs in your browser
  • 03 Pictures first, then code

§ 1 · Inside a lesson

Every lesson is something you do, not just read.

Five kinds of practice, mixed through the lessons: see it, read it, try it, check it, say it back.

  1. A · See it

    Step-through diagrams

    Each system is drawn as boxes and arrows. Press Next and one part lights up at a time, with a sentence on what it does. You just used one above.

  2. B · Read it

    Code walkthroughs

    Real code with numbered notes. Pick a note and its lines light up.

  3. C · Try it

    Python in your browser

    Write and run Python on the page. Checks tell you what passes. Nothing to install.

  4. D · Check it

    Quick checks

    Short questions that explain why every answer is right or wrong.

  5. E · Say it back

    Explain it back

    Put the idea in your own words, then tick off what a good answer covers.

§ 3 · Who teaches this

A builder, learning in public.

I'm Joshua Solomon, founder of Behind Works. I build production systems by directing AI coding agents like Claude Code, and I put AI inside the systems I build.

I'm learning the AI Engineer path in public. This course is what I learn and build along the way, drawn and written so the next builder can follow it.

  • It is a clear map, the pictures I wanted, and real code you can run.
  • It is not a certificate, and it won't pretend to be one.
