Course Details

All lesson can be watched asynchronously. Along with me, you'll learn from my good friend Johno Whitaker (who you might remember from previous fast.ai courses), and the answer.ai team will run office hours and bonus lessons. You'll also join a thriving private community—the solveit Discord is an even more supportive group of brilliant people than the fast.ai forums, which is a very high bar.

Course Overview

Across the 10 lessons, we'll be learning to apply the solveit method to:

Classic data structures and algorithms applied to coding puzzles, looking at some fun Advent of Code problems
More advanced methods applying a functional style of programming, accelerated algorithms using numpy and pytorch, graph algorithms, and so forth
Web programming using FastHTML, HTMX, and foundational HTML/HTTP/CSS basics
Writing, including long form writing (with Eric Ries), blog posts, articles, and actually useful meeting notes
Using web APIs
System administration and devops
Web scraping
Building startups that take advantage of what we've learned (with Eric Ries).

These are normally each full-semester-length topics of their own, so naturally we can't cover them top-to-bottom in this 5 week course. Instead, we'll be providing an introduction to each topic, showing some key ideas, and explaining how to use Solveit to continue on your learning journey without our help. (But of course, you'll still have the community to help you.)

Access to Solveit Platform

The course fee includes access to the Solveit platform (with no quotas) for 30 days. After this, you will be able to subscribe for $10/month to maintain access. More details about the subscription will be announced shortly.
