Shows how agentic coding tools break down complex apps across multiple files, with hands-on work in Windsurf debugging and refactoring JavaScript, updating a large legacy codebase, and building a Wikipedia data analysis app. For developers with basic coding and prompting skills who want to see how an AI IDE agent uses tools and context.
