You’ve learned how to use AI’s to help you code- now you’re going to learn how to code the AI’s themselves! The good news is that foundation model providers like chatGPT’s OpenAI have made doing so easy and accessible. The other good news is that the process you’ve already learned will help you set clear intentions, not get lost in the weeds, and create testable sources of value for your user. You’ll also learn how the AI tools you’re about to use fit into the larger ecosystem of AI infrastructure.

Time to create your own Data Models! This week, we’re going to bring your MVC realization capabilities fully online. You’ll learn how to unpack Data Models, evaluate alternative database engines, and iteratively code, test, and debug both the integrity and the security of your data model implementation.

This is it! We’re going to send you on your way building and deploying like a professional developer. This means getting comfortable with version control and a more sophisticated IDE (integrated development environment). At this point, however, we think you’ll find these a natural fit for what you’ve probably been wanting but maybe didn’t yet know you need.
