AI-Assisted Coding
How AI-Assisted Coding Is Taught
This bootcamp does not teach students to blindly ask AI to write code. Students first build manual coding fundamentals, then learn how to use AI agents responsibly as coding assistants.
1Manual First
- 1Understand manually
- 2Sketch the solution
- 3Write core logic yourself
2AI Second
- 4Ask AI for plan or feedback
- 5Generate only where useful
- 6Review every line
- 7Test and debug
- 8Refactor manually
- 9Explain the final code
- 10Ship
12-Week Curriculum
Full Syllabus
You will not just learn to code with AI. You will learn how to write code manually first, then manage AI agents through specs, plans, reviews, debugging, refactoring, and deployment — the way modern software teams are starting to work.
Phase 1: The "Manual Core"
Manual-first · AI offWeeks 1–3
Before using AI tools, students build a strong manual coding foundation. Cursor AI is intentionally disabled in this phase so students can practice JavaScript, TypeScript, logic, DOM manipulation, debugging, and problem-solving by themselves.
Stack
HTML5CSS Grid
TypeScript
HTML5CSS GridTypeScriptWeek 1
The Foundations & Logic
- Set up the developer environment and understand how the web works
- Practice variables, control flow, loops, arrays, and objects manually
- Build problem-solving habits before asking tools for help
Week 2
The Modern DOM & Pure CSS
- Create semantic HTML pages and understand the DOM structure
- Use CSS box model, Flexbox, and Grid to build responsive layouts
Week 3
TypeScript Basics & Phase 1 Project
- Use TypeScript to make functions, interfaces, and data shapes safer
- Debug small mistakes manually and explain why the fix works
Milestone Project
"Coffee Master" Landing Page
Built from scratch using HTML, CSS, and TypeScript logic with no AI assistance.
View Live DemoPhase 2: React & AI-Assisted Frontend
AI-AssistedWeeks 4–6
Students first learn React component thinking manually, then use Cursor to speed up repetitive UI work. Generated output is reviewed and refactored into clean React code students can explain.

Cursor
ReactTailwind CSSCursorWeek 4
React 19 Fundamentals
- Learn React fundamentals: JSX, props, state, effects, and component thinking
- Build components manually before using assistance
- Recognize when not to use AI and why understanding comes first
- Use AI to explain unfamiliar code without blindly accepting output
Week 5
Tailwind CSS & Cursor Workflow
- Turn screenshots, wireframes, or requirements into clear UI prompts
- Use Cursor Agent for first-pass UI only after understanding the structure
- Review generated Tailwind for responsiveness, accessibility, and maintainability
- Refactor generated UI into reusable React components
Week 6
Data Fetching & Phase 2 Project
- Write core data-fetching logic manually with promises and async/await
- Connect React screens to APIs and handle loading, errors, and empty states
- Use AI for planning, debugging async issues, and improving structure
- Prepare a short README and project explanation
Milestone Project
"E-commerce Shop UI"
Build a responsive React frontend, then explain which parts were written manually and where tooling accelerated the work.
View Live DemoPhase 3: AI-Assisted Backend Engineering — Express, NestJS, Prisma & Neon
AI-AssistedWeeks 7–9
Students learn backend fundamentals first: APIs, routing, middleware, database modeling, authentication, and backend architecture. AI is then used to help plan routes, scaffold NestJS modules, investigate errors, and review code while students remain responsible for understanding and modifying the implementation.

- Practice error handling and route organization before adding a database
- Use AI to plan or refactor routes, then compare against REST best practices
Week 8
PostgreSQL, Prisma & Neon Database
- Learn PostgreSQL, Prisma, Neon, schemas, migrations, and relationships
- Model users, products, orders, or Capstone data with clear relations
- Use AI to draft schemas while manually checking constraints and relations
- Explain database relationships without relying on the chat
Week 9
NestJS, Authentication & Production API
- Build NestJS modules, controllers, services, DTOs, and guards
- Implement JWT authentication, password hashing, protected routes, and validation
- Use AI to scaffold repetitive backend structure after understanding the pattern
- Review auth/security decisions and explain the JWT flow manually
Milestone Project
"Production E-commerce API with NestJS, Prisma & Neon"
Build a production-style backend with authentication, database relations, protected routes, and APIs that connect to a real frontend.
Phase 4: Capstone Launch — Deploy Your Real Full-Stack Product
AI-AssistedWeeks 10–12
The final phase brings everything together into a real full-stack Capstone Project: React frontend, NestJS backend, Prisma + Neon database, file storage with DigitalOcean Spaces, and deployment on Vercel + Render. AI may help with planning, scaffolding, debugging, documentation, and review, but students must understand, edit, debug, explain, and present their own code.

Common Questions
FAQ
Do I need a technical background or coding experience?
No prior coding experience or technical degree is required. The bootcamp starts from absolute zero and builds up progressively. All you need is a laptop, dedication, and the willingness to learn. Career changers from non-tech fields are welcome — many of our students come from completely different industries.
What does the bootcamp schedule look like?
The bootcamp runs part-time over 12 weeks: Tuesday & Thursday evenings from 20:00–22:00, and Saturday mornings from 09:00–12:00. That's 7 hours per week of live classes — 84 hours total. The schedule is designed so working professionals can attend without taking time off.
Is this live or self-paced?
All classes are live and online with a real instructor — this is not a pre-recorded video course. You can ask questions, pair-program, and get real-time feedback during every session. Recordings are also available if you need to review material later.
Can I work full-time while attending?
Yes — this bootcamp is specifically designed for working professionals. Classes are held on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings so you can keep your job while building new skills. Most of our students work full-time throughout the program.
Who is the instructor?
The bootcamp is taught by a Senior Engineer with international experience across 4 countries and hands-on production experience building full-stack systems and AI-powered applications. You'll learn directly from someone who ships real products — not just theory.
What laptop/specs do I need?
Any laptop from the last 5 years will work. We recommend at least 8 GB RAM and a modern browser (Chrome or Edge). Mac, Windows, or Linux are all fine — we use VS Code and the terminal for everything.
What if I miss a class?
Every session is recorded and uploaded to the private Discord within 24 hours. You can catch up at your own pace, and the instructor is available for questions during the week.
Do I need to know English?
Classes are taught in Thai, but all code, documentation, and tooling are in English. Basic reading-level English is sufficient — we help you build technical English fluency as part of the program.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes. We offer a 6-installment plan at no extra cost. Contact us for details during your free consultation.
What happens after the bootcamp?
You keep lifetime access to the Discord community, recordings, and future curriculum updates. Alumni also get priority access to mock interview sessions and job referral networks.

Cancellation Policy
Cancellation & Refund Policy
Small cohort, limited seats
Each cohort is intentionally small with a limited number of seats. When you reserve a seat it is no longer available to anyone else, so cancellations initiated by the student are not eligible for a full refund.
Before the cohort starts
If you cancel before the start date, you may make a one-time transfer of your seat to a future cohort, subject to availability. Cash refunds are not available for student-initiated cancellations; tuition paid is otherwise forfeited.
After the cohort starts
Once classes begin, tuition is non-refundable — your seat, materials, and instructor time are already committed.
Installment plans
Enrolling commits you to the full tuition. On the 6-month installment plan, remaining installments stay due even if you stop attending.
Defer to a later cohort
Instead of a refund, you may request a one-time transfer to a future cohort, subject to seat availability, before the program's midpoint.
If we cancel or postpone
A full refund applies only when Varis Lab cancels or reschedules a cohort and you cannot attend the new dates; in that case you receive a full refund or a free transfer. Refunds are processed within 14 business days to the original payment method. To request one, contact us through our consultation channel.
