Software Engineering with Windsurf's SWE-1 AI Models

Modern software development moves fast, and AI-powered coding assistants are changing how we write, refactor, and debug code. Windsurf's SWE-1 models represent a major leap forward, offering agentic capabilities that work alongside you in your daily development flow. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of Windsurf's SWE-1 models, helping you transition from manual coding to an efficient, AI-assisted development workflow. You will learn how to collaborate with AI agents to solve complex programming tasks systematically. What you'll learn: - Understand the core architecture and capabilities of Windsurf's SWE-1 models - Apply agentic workflows to automate routine coding, refactoring, and debugging tasks - Master contextual prompting to feed the AI the right codebase information - Write and refine code safely using AI-assisted feedback loops - Implement best practices for reviewing and verifying AI-generated code You will begin by exploring the basic definitions of AI-assisted engineering and the mechanics of SWE-1 models. From there, you will progress through written explanations and practical code-based scenarios that show you how to direct the AI agent to analyze, modify, and optimize your software projects. This course is designed for developers of all levels who are new to Windsurf and agentic coding tools, with no prior AI experience required.
