Couch to Cursor Series #1: Explore & Understand (In-Person + Virtual)

Every climb starts with a first step. In this hands-on session you'll set up Cursor and learn to understand code before you ever change it — using AI to explore a real project instead of reading it line by line.

In these two hours you'll:

Get Cursor installed and ready (bring your laptop — we'll help)

Adopt the mindset: working with an AI coding partner, not just autocomplete

Get comfortable with Tab completion — Cursor's inline AI suggestions

Use Ask mode to explore our starter project and get instant answers

Learn your first real skill — giving Cursor the right context with @-mentions instead of dumping everything

Meet the modes and model picker you'll master over the next three weeks

Total beginners welcome. You'll leave able to navigate any codebase just by asking.
