DeepLearningAI and JetBrains launch free course on spec-driven development with coding agents
DeepLearningAI · youtube · 2026-09-23
DeepLearningAI has released a free course, Spec-Driven Development with Coding Agents, built with JetBrains and taught by developer advocate Paul Everitt.
Positioned as the disciplined alternative to vibe coding, it teaches writing a clear markdown spec first and letting a coding agent implement against it. Topics: writing a project constitution (mission, tech stack, roadmap), planning/implementing/validating features guided by the spec, introducing SDD into legacy codebases, and packaging the workflow into a portable agent skill that works across agents and IDEs. Requires basic programming familiarity and experience with LLM-based coding tools.
