Programming easily with an AI coding assistant - Cursor Tutorial

- AI has changed the role of the programmer dramatically in recent years. Developers who use AI can complete 26% more work, and they're able to finish coding tasks 55% faster, and 81% agree that productivity is their biggest benefit. Even if you've given AI a try in the past, the technologies are changing weekly with new models, beating the best developers in coding competitions. This new generation of models are able to understand the context of your entire code base, debugging, commenting, and refactoring code for you. They can help you as an AI pair programmer, and eliminate the need to look up solutions online. In this course, we'll cover one of the most popular new developer assistants, called Cursor. This is a copy of Visual See A Code that's one of the favorites for developers. It lets you customize the AI to use your favorite AI models, including Claude, DeepSeek, and even the new o3 models from OpenAI. It understands all the code in your projects to provide accurate suggestions and can either help you with existing code or code up an app template from scratch. If you've been wondering how AI can help you become a more powerful developer, let's do this.
