01 About the course
A hands-on course in building real applications.
This hands-on course will teach you how to develop, integrate and scale AI-powered solutions using DeepSeek.
You work with DeepSeek APIs, local DeepSeek setups, and developer tools including VS Code and Cursor — then use them inside real developer workflows: code generation, testing, documentation and debugging.
From there the course moves into RAG, embeddings and AI agents, so the models stop being a chat window and start being part of an application you ship.
The progression is deliberate: understand DeepSeek and its setup options first, then apply it across software development workflows, and finally build real-world applications and decide what belongs in production.
Inside the course
02 Who it’s for
For developers who want AI in the application, not the tab.
Basic familiarity with programming concepts and APIs is helpful, but no advanced coding is required — and no prior AI experience is needed.
03 What you’ll learn
Four outcomes, all of them things you build.

05 Syllabus
Three modules, from setup to production-ready.
About 13 hours end to end, fully self-paced. Every module lists its description, exactly what is inside it, and every lesson with its length.
Module and lesson details are taken from the course page on Coursera and may be updated there by the instructor.
