Build your first Web App with Cursor AI, Python, Virtual Machines, and Neon Postgres

⭐️ Sign up for Neon right now! https://neon.tech/cfe Create a cutting edge and modern web app using just English. Cursor AI unlocks an amazing ability to build fast and robust applications by allowing you to speak English while it writes the code for you in a code-editing environment. While tools like ChatGPT and Claude have websites that make it easy to copy and paste code generated, Cursor brings these tools right next to your code for the most amazing auto-complete tool you've ever used -- far better than anything on the market yet. The best part? A lot of it costs $0 to get started for a _long time_. This entire course cost $0 in AI costs. What we build in this course used to cost thousands (if not tens of thousands) of dollars to build over the course of a month or two. You'll do it for free and in a little over 5 hours. Cursor is what you thought GitHub Copilot was going to be. Heck, even if they do the same thing by the time you watch this video, you can thank Cursor for pushing the envelop and helping beginners and professional developers a like. Let's do this! Topics, code links, and chapters below. Topics: ✅ Do Full Stack Web Development in pure English ✅ Leverage Anthropic's Claude.ai right on your machine without copying and pasting ✅ Diagnose issues with ease ✅ Learn various commands to speed up how you use Cursor AI ✅ Create rules for Cursor to follow to ensure consistent workflows ✅ Skip local setup and develop directly on cheap servers ✅ Build your first static website in about 10 minutes ✅ Integrate Git and GitHub to easily backup your code and undo bad AI generations ✅ Build a Python & Django Web App without writing a single line of code ✅ Leverage Neon Postgres to persist database data across VMs ✅ Deploy a production-ready web server to access your in-development web app from anywhere in the world ✅ And much more!
