How it works
Three steps, every lesson
1
Watch
A narrated lesson of about three minutes, right on the page. The idea comes in kitchen terms first, before any code.
2
Read along
Captions follow the voice in the transcript. Jump to any scene, and select and copy any line: the lesson is live text, not a flat video.
3
Read, then write
Every lesson moves through the same two verbs: first you read something real through the lens, then you write, changing it or building your own.
What you'll be able to do
Read any app through three lenses
By the last lesson you can take an app you use every day and say what it holds, what it remembers, and how things move through it.
Module 2 · Memory
Say where it's kept
Tell a variable from a cache from a database, and explain why an app keeps each thing where it does.
Variables — the simplest memoryShort-term memory: cachingLong-term memory
Module 3 · Movement
Follow how it moves
Trace one tap through an app: what comes in, what goes out, and what happens when many things happen at once.

After this lesson
By the end, you'll be able to look at any app and break it down into three plain parts.

Questions, answered
Still curious? The free first lesson answers a lot — no card required.
None. The course is built for people who have never written code. It starts with what software is, in kitchen terms, and brings in code only once the idea is clear.
People who work with software every day without building it: managers, founders, designers, analysts. If you want to follow what engineers, and the AI tools that write code, are actually doing, it's for you.
24 lessons of about three minutes each, 72 minutes in all. Go at your own pace: there are no deadlines, and access never runs out.
It teaches how software works (its shape, its memory and its movement) with small TypeScript examples along the way. It's a foundation for understanding software, not a job-placement program.
