  We look at a  hand-on and free course that teaches you how to use Claude Code by doing real work. It's a course designed to teach non-technical users how to master Anthropic’s AI agent; from foundational terminal commands and file operations to advanced vibe coding, where users build and deploy applications by describing their goals rather than writing code. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18668-claude-code-for-everyone-the-course.html

  Skip is a development tool that allows engineers to create native iOS and Android applications from a single Swift and SwiftUI codebase. The news is that it has now gone open source and free-for-use, even in commercial projects. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/193-android/18660-build-native-ios-and-android-apps-with-skip-now-for-free.html

  Sonatype has released this year's report with a number of interesting findings. Let's dig into it. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/80-java/18650-what-does-the-sonatype-2026-state-of-the-software-supply-chain-report-reveal.html

  Colab integration has arrived for both VSCode and PyCharm. What does that now make possible? If you're familiar with Jupyter Notebook, you'll be right at home with Colab too. Colab addresses the limitations of the single-player notebook. Jupyter was created in an era before the cloud and the emergence of AI. Nowadays what is required is modern, collaborative tools that integrate into your existing stack. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/18645-colab-is-coming-for-your-favorite-ide.html

  A brand new course from the makers of LangSmith themselves, promises to teach you how to observe, evaluate, and deploy your agents. And all that in less than 30 minutes. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18638-langchain-academys-langsmith-essentials-course.html

  Wouldn't it be great to have an interface that could work with any AI agent? Toad is Python's answer to a unified front-end for the many AI coding agents out there. Toad, not to be confused with the Oracle IDE, aims to provide a more pleasant experience for the user of Agentic coding tools. The notion is that each tool comes with its own interface, its own quirks, and its own limitations.  https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/18619-toad-pythonic-universal-terminal-interface-for-ai-agents.html

  Recognizing the importance of AI Agents, industry stakeholders have decided to establish a Foundation that fosters common open standards and collaboration . Under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation, the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) has been co-founded by Anthropic, Block and OpenAI, with support from Google, Microsoft, AWS, Cloudflare and Bloomberg. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18614-agentic-ai-foundation-announced.html

  FunctionGemma is an open-source Google model fine-tuned for function calling that aims to revolutionize the way we interact with our devices. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18608-google-releases-functiongemma-model.html

  This isn't just a course, it's the complete curriculum of Stanford’s  CME295 Transformers and Large Language Models  from Autumn 2025. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/150-training-a-education/18604-watch-stanfords-cme295-transformers-and-llms.html

  pg-aiguide adds AI-optimized PostgreSQL expertise to coding assistants. What does that mean? In  With MCP Docs Servers You'll Never Run Out Of Fresh Documentation  we found out why documentation is very important for coding assistants: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18603-pg-aiguide-agentic-coding-for-postgresql.html

  An event for API practitioners from around the world covering everything API-related. We're checking the highlights. Platform Summit is the flagship conference of Nordic APIs, an international community of API practitioners and enthusiasts whose aim is to helping companies make smarter tech decisions using APIs. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/99-professional/18600-nordic-api-platform-summit-2025.html

Supabase has released Vector Buckets, specialized storage containers optimized for vector data. This is welcome as it expands your options for storing vectors.  https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/18585-supabases-vector-buckets.html

  Yet another provider jumps on the hardened image bandwagon. But since it's Docker, the main player in the container space, this is very important. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/240-devops/18579-docker-releases-hardened-images-for-free-what-does-it-do-differently.html
