We just published a great new course on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel that will change the way you think about programming. Instead of just chatting with AI, you can now learn how to use cloud code to build real-world agent workflows. This comprehensive guide was created by Andrew Brown to take you from a complete beginner to a pro who knows how to collaborate with an autonomous coding agent directly in Terminal.
Cloudcode is not your average chatbot. It can read your files, execute terminal commands, and even tell you the cause of your errors to fix bugs without you having to copy and paste code back and forth. This course explains the “agentic loop,” which is the basic logic behind how an AI observes a problem, thinks of a solution, and then uses tools to implement that plan.
During the six-hour deep dive, you’ll learn everything from basic installation on Windows, Linux, and Mac to advanced concepts like session management. Andrew explains how to restart or fork your coding sessions so you can safely experiment with different ideas. You’ll also get a handle on the financial side by learning how to monitor your API usage and costs across different providers like AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex AI.
