An AI coding course is easy to find. One that keeps your codebase out of chaos is not.
Faster.dev is a training platform from Aaron Francis, who has spent over 20 years as a professional developer and served as CTO and COO. He created Database School, Screencasting.com, Solo, and Counselors.
The core is 58 videos across 10 series. Claude Code from Scratch takes you from zero to productive.
Init Commands shows how to set up a project with one command and write framework rules that keep AI output consistent. Claude Skills covers built-in skills, writing custom commands, and chaining them into workflows.
Auditing Your Code walks through checking a full codebase, a module, or recent changes for bad state management, boolean explosions, and other code smells. Series on prompting and context, MCP servers, and Amp Code are listed as coming soon.
Field notes cover narrower topics, like pulling Sentry logs into your LLM and creating a version endpoint for deployments. Nine project logs follow real products, including Solo, counselors, and Loadout.
Learn to:
Set up a project with one init command and framework rules that keep AI output consistent.
Write your own skills and custom commands, then chain them into automated workflows.
•udit a codebase, a module, or recent changes for bad state management, boolean explosions, and other code smells.
Run slash commands that test code, fix failures, create pull requests, fetch GitHub issues, and build visual diffs.
Copy downloadable rules, skills files, and CLAUDE.md templates into your own setup and adapt them for your stack.
Ideal for: experienced software developers who want to use AI tools in real projects without lowering code quality.
