What you will learn in this course:

In this course, you will learn how to use Cursor not just as an editor, but as an intelligent partner. You will build a complete landing page for a SaaS product live, learning all the core features that distinguish Cursor from VS Code along the way.
The focus is on practical "doing": We install Cursor, set it up, and write code with AI support (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o).
You will learn:

  • How to install Cursor and import your VS Code extensions
  • How to master the three core features: Chat (Ctrl+L), Composer (Ctrl+I), and Tab (Autocomplete)
  • How to create entire features across multiple files using the "Composer"
  • How to efficiently pass context (files, folders, docs, web) to the AI (@-Mentions)
  • How to build a modern landing page with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Shadcn UI
  • How to use Cursor Rules (.cursorrules) to standardize your coding style
  • How to integrate external documentation (e.g., Stripe, LangChain) directly into the chat
  • How to use images as references for your design (Vision Capabilities)
  • How to automatically detect and fix errors in the terminal
