A course repo for the full-stack crowd plotting an AI pivot

What it does

AI Hero is a course for web developers switching to AI engineering, and this repo contains most of its moving parts: runnable TypeScript examples, exercises, articles, and libraries like the Evalite evals framework. The examples directory holds self-contained snippets you can run to see a concept in action, each one linking to a longer article on the AI Hero site.

The interesting bit

The material is structured as actual code first, prose second—useful for developers who learn by tweaking rather than reading. The author is also building and open-sourcing the tooling alongside the curriculum, so you get both the lesson and the hammer.

Key highlights

• Self-contained, runnable TypeScript examples demonstrating specific AI techniques.
• Includes exercises, articles, and libraries such as Evalite (an evals framework).
• Explicitly aimed at frontend, backend, and full-stack developers transitioning to AI.
• Examples link to corresponding articles on the AI Hero website for deeper context.
• Active work-in-progress; some examples are marked TODO.

Caveats

• Several examples are unfinished (TODO), so the repo is clearly a work in progress.
• Currently requires commercial API keys (OpenAI or Anthropic) to run examples; local model support is noted as coming soon.

Verdict

Worth bookmarking if you’re a web developer trying to bridge into AI engineering and prefer learning by running code. If you need a polished, end-to-end production framework, this is coursework—not a product.
