Agentic Software Development

Learn to build and ship production-grade software with AI coding agents.
For professionals ready to increase velocity without compromise.

The developers who learn this now will lead what comes next.

AI is no longer just autocomplete. In many teams, it is already doing the bulk of the implementation work.

Anders Hejlsberg, creator of TypeScript, said it plainly: the model has flipped. AI now does the work. Developers supervise, steer, and ship. The IDE as we knew it is already fading.

This is not a future prediction. It is happening now.

The most agile teams have already adopted agentic workflows. They are clearing backlogs in days that used to take quarters. They are shipping while others are still waiting in ticket queues.

Teams that don't adapt are not just slower. They are becoming coordination bottlenecks inside their own organizations.

We teach using Claude Code and Codex CLI, the two highest-ranked AI coding agents on the SWE benchmark. The principles you learn apply to any agent you choose to use.

We are the only KHDA-approved institute in the UAE teaching this way. Not theory. Not demos. Real software, built in real codebases, using the tools reshaping the industry.

I had previously paid developers AED 35,000 to build an app for me that never worked. In the Idea LaunchPad program, I built it within 5 days, exactly the way I wanted. Someone actually offered to buy the app from me two weeks later!

What you will learn and build

Each session is hands-on. You will work inside real codebases, learning to direct AI agents through complex problems. By the end, this becomes your default way of building software.

Session 01

Foundations + First Build

Environment setup across Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini. CLAUDE.md configuration. Commands, hooks, MCP servers, Agent Skills, thinking levels. You will build and ship a functional application by the end of Day 1. This is not theory. You leave with something working.

Session 02

Reality-First Design

Most AI failures happen because the model designs systems that ignore existing contracts. Learn our PRD methodology for existing codebases: Repo Cartographer → Runtime Contract Guardian → Schema Designer → API Surface Designer → UI Requirements → Security and Ops → PRD Synthesizer. Pre-implementation risk hardening. The rule: never let an AI design what already exists. First, force it to map reality.

Session 03

Quality at Velocity

Context window management and the 40% rule. The Triple Terminal Methodology for plan validation. Subagents for security review, code review, and testing. Automated quality gates using hooks. This session answers the question every experienced developer asks: how do I ship faster without breaking things?

Session 04

Parallel Development

Git worktrees for isolated, parallel workstreams. Running 3-10 agents simultaneously across different parts of a codebase. Model selection strategy: Haiku for speed, Sonnet for balance, Opus for complex reasoning. Orchestration patterns. Merge discipline. This is where productivity multiplies.

Session 05Weekend Track

Production-Grade UI/UX

Elevate internal tools to Fortune 500 polish. Design systems. Component patterns. The difference between a scrappy internal tool and something that looks like it had a full engineering team and dedicated designers behind it. Apps that stakeholders love and users actually adopt. This is what gets your work noticed.

Session 06Weekend Track

Autonomous Mode

The Chief Architect and Implementation Agent model. TDD enforcement loop: RED → GREEN → REVIEW → REFACTOR → COMMIT. Safety rules and quality gates. Workspace isolation. Push protection. Coverage thresholds. Full autonomy without supervision loss. This is how you set an agent running and walk away knowing it will not break anything.

Outcome

You will leave this program working differently. Not just faster, but operating at a level most developers have not yet reached. You will be the person who knows how to direct AI agents through complex, production-grade work, not just experiment with them. You will clear backlogs that used to take weeks. You will have a skillset that is scarce today and essential tomorrow. This is not a certificate. It is a capability shift.

Is this for you?

This program is for professionals who build, manage, or support software. Developers, solution architects, Salesforce admins, technical marketers, IT support staff. You understand systems. You know what you want to build or change.

You have felt the bottleneck of slow cycles and long queues. You are tired of waiting to ship changes you already understand.

If you recognize that feeling, then this program is for you.

As a non-technical person, I wasn't sure what to expect from the Idea LaunchPad Course, but in just five days I went from knowing nothing about app development to walking away with a fully built app. The experience far exceeded what I imagined to be possible and will have a significant impact on how I grow my business.
