Academind

Another new course is live on Academind Pro!

This one isn't about coding, it's about Claude Cowork.

AI agents are clearly going to play a huge role in how we work. But almost every agent tool out today is built for developers (terminal, code, CLI configs).

Not great for the people who'd benefit the most from a personal AI agent (analysts, consultants, founders, marketers, basically anyone working with documents and data).

Claude Cowork is Anthropic's take on changing that.

You give it access to specific folders or projects, add knowledge through skills and let it run autonomously inside a sandbox you fully control.

Data analysis, browser automation, dashboards, document workflows, scheduled jobs.

The course is now live and covers all the core features. As always, available standalone or as part of Academind Pro (existing subscribers already have access).

Running a VPS (Virtual Private Server) becomes extremely useful once you move beyond local development.

Whether it’s hosting your own web apps, running workflows or setting up an always-on environment. A VPS gives you full control.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:
- Create & configure a VPS (Hetzner, transferable to any provider)
- Secure access via SSH, keys & Tailscale
- Host web apps with Docker & reverse proxies
- Set up TLS for secure deployments
- Run one-off and recurring tasks (CRON)
- Work with AI agents on a VPS
- Run OpenClaw (incl. Telegram integration)
- Use essential Linux commands to manage your server

AI is evolving fast. Keeping up alongside a full-time job is difficult.
Our job is to make that easier.

Not by chasing every trend, but by focusing on the tools and concepts that actually change how software is built.

To do that, we focused on two main areas recently:
1️⃣ A full relaunch of academind.com with AI focus and significantly improved course access 👉 You can now start every course for free, no signup or login is required!

2️⃣ A whole bunch of new courses with a clear AI focus.
We didn’t just add a few AI lessons. We reworked large parts of our content.

New courses:
- Agentic coding with Claude Code & Codex
- AI workflows with n8n (no-code)
- AI for developers
- AI Agents & Workflows
- ChatGPT in real-world usage

Plus, all essential fundamentals.

To celebrate these updates and the fact that Academind Pro started 6 years ago already, we just started one ouf our very rare sales:

→ Annual subscription for $169/year instead of $249
→ Full access to all 55 current + all future courses
→ Applies forever (your price locks in for as long as you stay subscribed)

If you’ve been thinking about leveling up your skills for the AI era, this is the best time to jump in.

Let’s dive into the future of coding together!

Exciting news!

Max finished his HUGE 14 ("App Router") course update.
He already released a big part of this update at the end of last year, now the remaining new sections have been added to his Next.js course!

In these new sections, you'll learn all about "Routing & Rendering", "Data Fetching", "Data Mutation", "Caching", "Optimizations" and "Authentication".

In addition, all the old course content will stay online so that you can learn all about the Next.js "App Router" AND the "Pages Router".

We hope you'll enjoy this update! 🙂

You find links with great discounts for both his (updated) Next.js course as well as our React course in the comments!

Yep, you can use React / JSX as a Node / Express template engine.

How? And should you?

Max has the answers: https://youtu.be/RUoZ2XBa_tw

We got two exciting things to share!

A brand-new course on HTMX and a substantial update for our existing, huge ChatGPT course!

HTMX is an amazing JavaScript library that actually helps you write LESS (or often NO) JavaScript code.
It extends HTML and allows you to use new attributes to send & handle AJAX requests.

ChatGPT needs no introduction. In early 2023, together with Manuel, I created a huge course where I teach ChatGPT & prompt engineering in-depth!

We now released a big course update to also cover alternative AI chatbots (e.g., Claude 3) and more!
