CURSOR TRAINING: CODE FASTER WITH AI
Hack’celeration offers Cursor training to help you master this AI-powered IDE and code 10x faster. Whether you’re a developer tired of repetitive tasks or a no-code maker ready to dive into real code, you’ll learn to use Cursor’s AI to generate, debug, and refactor code like a pro. We’ll see how to set up your IDE, write effective prompts for the AI, work with multi-file editing, integrate Git workflows, and build real projects from scratch. This training is for beginners who want to learn coding with AI assistance and experienced developers who want to boost their productivity. It’s 100% hands-on: you’ll code real projects, not just watch demos. By the end, you’ll be fully autonomous with Cursor and able to ship features way faster than before.
WHY TAKE CURSOR TRAINING?
Because Cursor can transform hours of manual coding into minutes of AI-assisted development. If you’re spending too much time on repetitive code, debugging syntax errors, or struggling to learn programming alone, Cursor changes the game. It’s an IDE built on VS Code with AI deeply integrated, not just bolted on. You type a comment, the AI generates the function. You highlight buggy code, it fixes it. You describe what you want, it builds it.
Here’s what you’ll master:
- Set up Cursor like a pro: You’ll install the IDE, configure your AI settings, understand context windows, and connect your GitHub repositories for seamless version control.
- Write code with AI assistance: You’ll learn to prompt the AI effectively, use autocompletion intelligently, generate entire functions from descriptions, and refactor messy code automatically.
- Build real projects: You’ll create actual applications (web apps, automation scripts, APIs) using Cursor’s multi-file editing, debugging tools, and terminal integration to ship features fast.
- Debug and optimize: You’ll use Cursor to identify bugs, improve performance, understand error messages, and learn best practices as you code with AI feedback.
- Integrate with your stack: You’ll connect Cursor with Git, deploy to production, use extensions, and integrate it into your existing development workflow without friction.
Whether you’re starting to code or already ship products daily, our AI agency expertise will give you the right reflexes to code faster, smarter, and with way less frustration. Combine Cursor with automation tools like Make or no-code platforms like Bubble to build complete solutions.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN OUR CURSOR TRAINING
MODULE 1: CURSOR BASICS
We start at the beginning: install Cursor, understand the interface, configure your first AI settings. You’ll see how it differs from regular VS Code and why the AI integration changes everything.
You’ll create your workspace, set up your preferences, understand the command palette, and configure your API keys for AI features. We’ll also cover keyboard shortcuts that’ll save you hours.
You’ll connect your GitHub account, understand how Cursor handles version control, and set up your first project repository directly in the IDE.
At the end of this module, you have a fully configured Cursor IDE. You know where everything is and you’re ready to start coding with AI assistance.
MODULE 2: CODE WITH AI ASSISTANCE
This is where it gets interesting: you’ll learn to actually code with AI. We’ll see how to write effective prompts, use autocompletion intelligently, and generate functions from natural language.
You’ll understand context windows (how much code the AI can see), learn to describe what you want clearly, and use Cursor’s chat feature to ask questions about your codebase.
We’ll practice generating React components, Python scripts, API endpoints, and database queries just by describing them. You’ll see how to accept, reject, or modify AI suggestions.
You’ll also learn when to trust the AI and when to double-check, how to handle hallucinations, and how to iteratively improve generated code with follow-up prompts.
At the end of this module, you can write code 5-10x faster than traditional coding. You understand how to collaborate with AI as a coding partner.
MODULE 3: MULTI-FILE EDITING AND REFACTORING
Cursor’s real power shows up when working across multiple files. You’ll learn to edit several files simultaneously, refactor entire features, and maintain consistency across your codebase.
You’ll use Cursor’s context-aware AI to rename variables across files, restructure folder architectures, and update imports automatically when moving code around.
We’ll practice refactoring a messy codebase: extracting reusable components, splitting monolithic files, organizing your project structure, and cleaning up technical debt with AI assistance.
You’ll also learn to search across your entire project, use regex for advanced find-and-replace, and leverage Cursor’s AI to understand complex codebases you didn’t write.
At the end of this module, you can maintain and improve large projects without getting lost. You know how to keep your code clean and organized even as it grows.
MODULE 4: DEBUG AND FIX ISSUES
Bugs happen. We’ll see how to use Cursor to identify issues, understand error messages, and fix problems faster than traditional debugging.
You’ll learn to highlight broken code and ask the AI “why doesn’t this work?”, use Cursor’s terminal integration to run tests and see errors, and leverage AI to suggest fixes for common bugs.
We’ll practice debugging real scenarios: API calls that fail, UI components that don’t render, database queries that return wrong data, and performance issues that slow down your app.
You’ll also learn to read stack traces, use console logs effectively, and understand when the issue is in your code vs external dependencies.
At the end of this module, debugging is way less frustrating. You can identify and fix issues in minutes instead of hours.
MODULE 5: GIT WORKFLOWS AND COLLABORATION
Real development means version control. You’ll master Git workflows inside Cursor: commits, branches, pull requests, and merge conflicts with AI assistance.
You’ll learn to write clear commit messages (with AI suggestions), create feature branches, push to GitHub, and handle merge conflicts when they inevitably happen.
We’ll practice collaborative workflows: reviewing code changes, understanding diff views, reverting commits when needed, and keeping your Git history clean.
You’ll also connect Cursor with GitHub Copilot if you have it, use AI to write better commit messages, and understand best practices for working in teams.
At the end of this module, you’re comfortable with Git. You can contribute to team projects without messing up the repository.
MODULE 6: BUILD REAL PROJECTS
Time to put it all together. You’ll build 2-3 complete projects from scratch using everything we’ve learned: a web app, an automation script, or an API.
We’ll start with planning (describing the project to AI), generate the initial structure, implement features iteratively, debug issues as they appear, and deploy to production.
You’ll practice the full workflow: idea → code → test → deploy. We’ll use realistic scenarios like building a task manager app, creating an automated data pipeline with n8n, or developing a REST API with authentication.
You’ll also learn to read documentation with AI assistance, integrate third-party libraries, handle environment variables, and optimize performance before shipping.
At the end of this module, you’ve shipped real projects. You’re autonomous with Cursor and ready to build whatever you need without hand-holding.

FAQ – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OUR CURSOR TRAINING
Is it really free?
Yes. You're among the first to benefit from the program as a preview. No hidden fees, no commitment. Just full access to 6 modules, replays, and support from our experts.
How long does it take?
6 weeks. You progress at your own pace with 2-hour self-paced training blocks (videos, exercises, templates). Plus 1 weekly 1-hour group session to ask questions and work on practical cases with our trainers.
Is it live or recorded?
Both. Training content is recorded so you can progress when you want. Weekly Q&A sessions are live, but also recorded if you miss a session.
How do I sign up?
Registration form on this page. Once registered, you receive a confirmation email with platform access, session schedule, and first content to get started.
Do I need to know how to code already?
Not necessarily. Cursor is actually great for learning to code because the AI explains what it's generating. If you're a complete beginner, you'll learn faster with AI assistance than traditional tutorials. If you already code, you'll just boost your productivity massively. We cover both profiles in the training.
Cursor vs GitHub Copilot: when to choose Cursor?
Copilot is an extension that works in any IDE with good autocompletion. Cursor is a full IDE built around AI with deeper integration: multi-file editing, chat with your codebase, context-aware suggestions. Choose Cursor if you want the full AI coding experience and are comfortable switching from your current IDE. Choose Copilot if you want to keep VS Code or another IDE and just add AI autocompletion. You can even use both together.
Can I use Cursor for any programming language?
Yes. Cursor supports all languages that VS Code supports (it's built on VS Code): JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, PHP, etc. The AI is trained on most popular languages, so it works well for web development, data science, automation scripts, and more. We focus on JavaScript/Python in the training because they're most common, but the principles apply to any language.
Is Cursor free or do I need to pay?
Cursor has a free tier with limited AI requests and a Pro plan ($20/month) with unlimited usage. For learning, the free tier works fine. For daily professional use, you'll probably want Pro. The training covers both versions, and we show you how to maximize the free tier while you're learning.
Can Cursor integrate with my existing projects?
Absolutely. Cursor works with Git, so you can clone any repository and start working on it immediately. It supports all VS Code extensions, connects to GitHub/GitLab, handles Docker, and integrates with your terminal. If you're already using VS Code, switching to Cursor is seamless—your settings, extensions, and projects transfer over easily.
What if the AI generates buggy code?
It happens. The AI isn't perfect, and that's why we teach you to review generated code, test it properly, and catch issues early. You'll learn to spot common AI mistakes, validate outputs before using them, and iteratively improve suggestions with better prompts. By the end of the training, you know when to trust the AI and when to double-check everything.
