The Problem

You want to add AI to your .NET app, but you do not know where to start.

You've been learning AI from scattered blog posts, YouTube videos, and ChatGPT conversations, but nothing connects into a coherent picture. You use ChatGPT or Copilot to ask questions, but you have no idea how to build AI features into your .NET applications. Maybe you're even worried AI might replace you, instead of seeing it as your biggest advantage.

Docs contradict each other. Models change every month. Demos look slick, but they don't match your stack. You don't know how it applies to your domain. You worry about latency and data security.

A week passes. You still don't have an AI feature in production. Just a demo.

Picture this: Your team asks who can lead the AI integration. You raise your hand and you actually know what to do. Not theory. Not guessing. Actual working code you've shipped.

That is the moment where AI finally makes sense.

In this cohort, you'll build a complete budget tracker: messy CSV imports that AI detects and cleans, smart categorization, natural language queries like "How much did we spend on subscriptions last quarter?". Code you can adapt to your domain.

Who this is for (and who it's not)

This is for .NET developers who want to deliver an AI feature in production, not a playground. You prefer practical over theory. You want clarity over hype. You want ideas and inspiration.

If that is you, you are in the right place.

It's probably not for you if:

  • × You're looking for a fully beginner coding course.
  • × You expect magic "AI-in-a-box" templates without learning how they work.
  • × You can't commit at least 3 hours per week for 7 weeks.
  • × You'd rather watch videos passively than build something real.
  • × You want coverage of Microsoft Agent Framework.
  • × You're looking for CI/CD pipeline or DevOps training.
  • × You're looking for real-time API implementations.
  • × You want deep dives into AI model architecture or training.

Week 1 Money-Back Guarantee

If after Week 1 you don't feel this is worth your time, email me directly and I'll refund you immediately.

No forms, no waiting, no questions asked.

Why a Cohort Works Better

Most courses give you content. A cohort gives you momentum. You learn with a small group on a fixed timeline, so you keep moving. You get feedback when you're stuck. You see how others solve the same problems. You ship.

What that looks like:

📅

Weekly sessions

Recorded video lessons. Plus office hours for direct feedback.

💬

Private community

Q&A, networking, and peer learning with .NET developers shipping AI.

📦

Full GitHub repo

Complete source code, examples, and all materials for reference. Pre-built git branches at each stage so you never get stuck.

🎯

Clear weekly goals

Fixed timeline keeps progress compounding. You ship, week by week.

🎓

Certificate of Completion

Earn a verified certificate when you complete the cohort to showcase your AI development skills.

Week 1 Money-Back Guarantee

If after Week 1 you don't feel this is worth your time, email me directly and I'll refund you immediately.

No forms, no waiting, no questions asked.

Prerequisites

This cohort is for developers who:

  • ✓ Know how to use Git and build APIs
  • ✓ Have written server-side code with C#
  • ✓ Prefer learning by doing
  • ✓ Have a basic understanding of JavaScript and web development

The focus is on backend and AI. We'll scaffold the React UI, and even use AI to generate parts of it. So, you can stay in your backend comfort zone while still building a full-stack experience.

What you'll need

  • → Your favourite IDE (Visual Studio, JetBrains Rider, VS Code, Cursor AI, etc.)
  • → .NET 10
  • → Docker (no Kubernetes needed)
  • → Git and a GitHub.com account
  • → An Azure account (expect ~5-10 € of usage)
  • → Your preferred AI assistant (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.)

No prior AI or machine learning experience needed. We'll cover everything from fundamentals to production deployment.

While we use Azure OpenAI in the cohort, the patterns and techniques you'll learn apply across any provider. OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or others. You're learning how to build AI features, not just how to use one specific API.

FAQ

What time are the live sessions in my timezone?

Live sessions are Thursdays 5-6pm WET (Lisbon time). This is 12pm-1pm EST (New York), 9am-10am PST (Los Angeles), and 5pm-6pm GMT (London). All sessions are recorded and available within 24 hours, so you can watch at your convenience if the live time doesn't work for you.

How long will it take to complete the program?

The cohort runs for 7 weeks, from April 6 to May 22, 2026. Plan for 3-6 hours per week including recorded sessions and labs.

How much time per week?

3 to 6 hours, including sessions and labs.

What happens if I can't attend a live session?

No problem. All sessions are recorded and available within 24 hours. You can catch up asynchronously at your own pace.

Do I need Azure?

Yes for deployment. Local runs work without it.

I'm a complete beginner. Will this program be helpful for me?

This program is not an introductory course. While we cover fundamental AI concepts, you should be comfortable with .NET development. Beginners will find the pace too fast.

Can my company pay?

Yes. VAT invoices are supported.

Do you offer team or enterprise pricing?

Yes! For teams of 3+ developers, we offer volume discounts and single invoicing. Contact [email protected] to discuss your team's needs.

What if I fall behind?

Office hours are designed for this. Plus, you keep access to all materials after the cohort ends.

Do I get a certificate of completion?

Yes! You'll receive a completion certificate when you finish the 7-week cohort.

What if I'm not satisfied?

Attend the first week, and if it's not for you, you get a full refund.

What's the total cost, including taxes?

The displayed price (€749 / ~$868 USD) includes all taxes. One-time payment only. There are no hidden fees. The only additional cost might be €5-10 for Azure services if you exceed free tier limits.

Will I need to pay for Azure services?

Azure offers free credits for new users, typically covering the entire cohort. Expected costs are €5-10 total if you exceed free tier limits. You may need to add a payment method, but actual charges should be minimal. Local development is possible for most exercises.

Do I need to be on camera during live sessions?

No. Live sessions are interactive but camera and microphone are optional. You can participate via chat and Q&A.

How's this different from a workshop or a self-paced course?

Workshops are intense but short. It is great for inspiration, but it is hard to apply everything once you go back to your normal work week. Self-paced courses give you all the content upfront, but it's easy to pause and never come back. A cohort gives you a fixed timeline, weekly goals, live feedback, and a group moving together.

Has this been done before?

Yes! Cohort 1 ran successfully with developers from around the world. The content is based on a workshop I've delivered to developers and has been expanded into a 7-week guided program with hands-on labs, office hours, and community support. You're getting proven material in a format that works (with the Week 1 money-back guarantee as protection).
