# Boot.dev adds a 20-hour course on coding with AI agents

> The course teaches people who can already code to work with an AI coding agent. Learners use it to build an interpreter, a program that runs code written in another language.

Boot.dev, an online coding course platform, said on 1 November 2026 that its new course on coding with AI agents is live.

The course is called Learn AI Coding. Boot.dev co-founder Lane Wagner said in the company's [November newsletter](https://www.boot.dev/blog/news/bootdev-beat-2026-11) that it was made with Dax Raad, a co-founder of OpenCode. OpenCode is a coding agent, a tool that uses an AI model to write and change code when asked. Wagner wrote that learners use the agent to build an interpreter for a small language called SlopLang.

The [course page](https://www.boot.dev/courses/learn-ai-coding) says the course has 13 chapters and 95 lessons and takes about 20 hours. The chapters cover models, prompting, agents, context, rules, skills and plugins. The page describes the project as a Python interpreter. It lists the Boot.dev Team as author and Raad as a contributor.

Boot.dev says the course is for people who can already write and debug simple code. Wagner wrote that it is not a "vibe coding" course, in which people let AI write code they do not check. Learners do not need a paid AI subscription, because free models are available through OpenCode Console.

The course page says anyone can make a free account and try a few chapters. After that, learners without a paid membership can only read the content. The course sits in the Backend, DevOps and Data Analyst paths, just before the final project.

Neither page gives the price of a membership or the exact day the course went live. Wagner said courses on Terraform, Bash scripting and Lua are coming next, without dates.
