AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor have transformed how developers work. The difference between a developer who uses AI effectively and one who doesn't is a 2-5x productivity gap. Prompt engineering isn't just about writing good prompts — it's about understanding AI capabilities, structuring complex tasks, and integrating AI into your workflow. Companies now list 'AI proficiency' as a required skill, and prompt engineering roles pay $80,000-$150,000.
Week 1: Fundamentals — how LLMs work conceptually, zero-shot vs few-shot prompting, role prompting, and chain-of-thought reasoning. Week 2: Developer workflows — using AI for code generation, debugging, code review, documentation, and test writing. Learning to verify AI output and catch hallucinations. Week 3: Advanced techniques — system prompts, RAG concepts, multi-step reasoning, and agentic patterns. Building custom AI workflows. Week 4: Practical mastery — integrate AI tools into your daily development workflow, learn tool-specific features (Cursor, Copilot, Claude), and build an AI-enhanced project.
