The inventors of computers had big dreams for their machines. One described the computer as "an instrument whose music is ideas." Computers could extend thought, creativity, and agency. They could amplify what makes you human.
That hasn't quite happened. Using a computer often feels tedious and frustrating instead of expressive and inspiring. You can't teach your computer how you think and work. Your ambition is limited by mass-produced software that wasn't designed for you. You have ideas that should exist but no way to build them. Your creativity and focus gets crowded out by clicking, copying, searching, and organizing.
That's starting to change. You can now sit down at your computer and begin to make it truly yours. You can craft your own tools, automate busy work, and create just by speaking aloud. You can teach your computer to adapt and grow with you. The computer is becoming an instrument of ideas, and you don't need to be a programmer to play it. In this course, we'll teach you how to play.
