AI-Assisted Frontend Coding for Designers

About the Instructor

David Eisner is a veteran Product Design leader with 25+ years at companies like Amazon, Audible, and Plated. He is currently VP of Product Design and Research at Amwell Healthcare, where he pioneered a hands-on AI training program that empowers his team to create higher-quality designs with less effort and ship production-ready frontend code—eliminating handoffs, miscommunications, and mismatched design.

Now, he's bringing that same proven, real-world method to CraftAmplify so you can apply it immediately, gain independence and control, adopt emerging technologies with confidence, and amplify your craft.

Getting to know Cursor AI, the terminal, and key coding concepts.

Module 2: From Design to Code

Hands-on practice translating a design into code using Figma's MCP Server.

Module 3: Cloning Production Code

Cloning an enterprise repository using git and understanding its structure.

Module 4: Local Development Environment Setup

Setting up a local development environment: installing dependencies, running backend and frontend servers, executing tests, and creating a git branch.

Module 5: Coding Fundamentals

Essential programming concepts: variables, data types, operators, conditionals, functions, arrays, objects, loops, and asynchronous operations.

Module 6: AI-Assisted Development & Deployment

Using AI to understand, modify, and deploy code changes, and merging your code into the main branch.

Module 7: Making Functional Updates

Making more complex code updates that require changes to unit and end-to-end tests, and ensuring all quality checks pass.
