About this Course
The secret is out: AI is changing everything about the way we work. Few things have changed more than the way we go from idea to code. If you’re an MBA or a generalist of any sort, all this is very much working in your favor. While coding well is a lifelong pursuit like any other, getting started is now a lot easier. This course will get you started with a product-first coding process that will both help you build great products yourself using AI as well as make yourself a better collaborator to your engineering-focused colleagues. In this first course, we’re going to focus on going from design to code for ‘Views’ or user interfaces (UI’s). We’ll code in HTML & CSS, but mostly we’ll be focused on the underlying design and engineering principles for building user interfaces. This course was developed at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia and is taught by top-ranked faculty
