AI for developers

Agentic Java Engineering. From loose prompts to robust AI architecture in one day. Step away from classic 'vibe coding' and discover the principles of agentic engineering. In this intensive, one-day hands-on training you build a fully-fledged AI agent step by step as an experienced Java developer, in a real codebase.

DURATION 1 day

A tour of the kata

The training in eighty seconds. A lightning-fast look at what's waiting for you: from clear course pages and clarifying diagrams to the in-depth exercises. You dive straight into a real Java repository, where automated builds relentlessly decide whether your agent meets the quality bar. No dry theory, just direct feedback on working code.

What you'll learn

In this intensive, one-day hands-on training you build a fully-fledged AI agent step by step in a real Java codebase. Just like a martial-arts kata, you sharpen your skills through repetition and precision: every exercise builds directly on the code from the previous step.

You learn not only where an agent gets its information from, but also how to set up advanced workflows and quality gates. That way you turn loose prompts into robust, reliable software.

100% Hands-on

A full day working in a real Java environment.

Directly Applicable

The exercises run on Java, but the principles and habits carry over to any tech stack.

Team Impact

You learn how to lead the conversation on responsible and effective AI integration within your team.

Six themes

TRUTH

Knowing whether it holds

You know how to check whether an answer from your agent actually holds up.

WORKFLOW

The right approach

You choose deliberately: vibe coding, plan, spec, or audit per task.

COST

A grip on your spend

You know what a session costs and how to work token-efficiently.

SETUP

A repo that helps

Instruction files, skills, and scripts that come along in every session.

PARALLEL

More work at once

You put multiple subagents to work at the same time, each in their own worktree.

TEAM

Bringing the rest along

Clear expectations and conventions that bring the whole team along in the new way of working.

What the kata contains

Not a slide deck with a few exercises behind it. The course material, the code, and the assignments are one thing, and they stay available after the training day.

COURSE MATERIAL

Access to all content, anytime, anywhere

The complete course material is fully available online in four clear steps: from context and tokens to the soft skills you need. Available in both Dutch and English. The environment also stays open after the training, so you can keep building at your own pace.

SLIDES

A deck from the exact same material

Every page in the course material directly produces the slide the trainer shows on screen. No separate sheets or diverging decks: what you read back in the documentation later is exactly what you saw on the board that day.

EXERCISES

Interactive quizzes and flag hunts

Your knowledge is tested straight in the browser, with instant feedback. No simple multiple-choice questions or gimmes: you only find the answers by actually running and analyzing the code on your own machine.

PROJECT WORK

A real Java repository

You work in a fully-fledged Spring Boot environment with a separate project ready for you at every step. Here you connect your agent to real code: you set up the environment, steer the logic, and see straight away in practice how the agent responds.

WORKSHOPS

The build decides, not the agent

Two in-depth workshops with automated, graded Maven profiles. Unit tests, code coverage, complexity, and mutation testing objectively determine whether your code holds up: only once everything checks out does the build turn green.

GUIDANCE

Guidance from experienced professionals

Our trainers do this in practice every day. They don't just stand in front of the group, they also sit right next to you at your screen, ready to look at your specific code and questions.

What you'll take into your daily practice

A repository set up ready to go

Including instruction files, custom skills, hooks, and scripts that load in automatically in every session.

A deliberate, well-considered workflow

Learn to choose purposefully per task between vibe coding, plan, spec, or audit, instead of always falling back on the same approach.

Strict quality gates

Automated tests, code coverage, complexity metrics, and mutation testing objectively decide whether the code is truly production-ready.

Full control over usage and cost

You learn to see exactly what an agent session costs and how to keep it lean and efficient.

Lasting access to material and code

The complete kata and the repo stay available to you, so you can keep building on your own and easily bring colleagues along in the new way of working.

What does your day look like?

1
MORNING 1

The Basics of AI: context, tokens, and tools: discover how an agent arrives at its answer.

2
MORNING 2

Workshop: Extracting code from a live service

Analyze a running application and surface the underlying logic straight away.

3
AFTERNOON 1

Agentic engineering: setup, workflows, and working with sub-agents

4
AFTERNOON 2

Workshop: Build Quality & Team Impact

The automated build safeguards code quality, while you learn how to embed this new way of working within your team.

Practical requirements

Prior Knowledge & Laptop

Programming experience and your own laptop with your familiar IDE.

AI Tools

An active installation of Claude Code or GitHub Copilot.

Tech Stack

The hands-on exercises run on Java with Maven, but you'll effortlessly apply the principles and habits you learn in any programming language.
