AI Native Developer Syllabus

Module 1: LLM Fundamentals & Internal Mechanics

Go beyond the chat interface and understand the engineering behind the models. 

  • LLMs Behind the Scenes: Understanding token generation, model weights, and prediction mechanics. 
  • The Model Landscape: A comparative look at Claude, GPT, and Gemini (Opus vs. Sonnet, Pro, mini).
  • Core Concepts: Aligning industry terminology – Tokens, Context Windows, and Hallucination management.
Module 2: AI-Driven Development & Modern Tooling

Master the tools that are redefining the developer’s workflow. 

  • Next-Gen Coding Environment: Hands-on with CursorClaude Code, and Antigravity.
  • Professional Prompt Engineering: Moving from basic prompts to Few-shot approaches and system-level instructions. 
  • Practical Workshop: Real-world feature building, debugging, and refactoring with AI assistance. 
Module 3: Context Engineering & RAG Systems

Learn how to ground AI in private data for accurate, domain-specific results. 

  • RAG Architecture: Mastering the flow of Retrieval, Embedding, and Augmentation.
  • Vector Infrastructure: Implementing a robust RAG system based on PGvector.
  • Reliability & Performance: Managing isolated response verification and strict output formats (JSON/YAML).

 

Module 4: The MCP Revolution (Model Context Protocol)

Master the cutting-edge protocol used to connect LLMs to any data source or action.

  • MCP Infrastructure: Understanding the Client-Server communication via JSON RPC 2.0. 
  • Tool Discovery: Building and deploying custom MCP servers for automated tool discovery.
  • Advanced Skills: Transitioning from basic APIs to dynamic LLM-driven interactions.
Module 5: Designing & Building Autonomous Agents

The capstone of the course: building systems that can think, plan, and act. 

  • The Agentic Loop: Designing autonomous workflows using the LLM-Memory-Tools triad.
  • Design Considerations: Choosing between stateless vs. stateful tools and agents vs. structured workflows.
  • Capstone Workshop: Developing specialized agents for Financial Advising, Log Triage, or Scheduling.
