LIVE · PRACTICAL · CODEX-POWERED LEARNING
Become an AI-powered software architect through one platform—Codex—and a practical method built for real engineering teams.
THE KNOWCODE IDEA
It's not“no code.”
It's “know code.”
The next generation of senior engineers will not compete with AI by typing faster. They will frame better problems, direct intelligent tools, validate the work, and own the architecture.
TWO PATHS · ONE PHILOSOPHY
KnowCode Academy meets you at your current level—whether you are building your first application or preparing to lead AI-assisted software delivery.
For new developers, career changers, and IT professionals who want to understand how software is built.
Learn how software works, turn an idea into a functioning application, and use Codex as your engineering partner from the first prompt through deployment.Request a beginner seat →
For experienced developers and IT professionals ready to direct AI-assisted engineering with sound technical judgment.
Move from using AI as a coding tool to leading the work, validating the result, and owning the architecture.Request an advanced seat →
CASE · CODEX-ASSISTED SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
Students fly bounded missions through the complete engineering loop—inside real repositories, local environments, GitHub workflows, and AWS deployments.
Codex assists. The student remains Pilot in Command.
Transfer a repository, understand its systems, run it locally, and make one controlled change.
Choose an AWS architecture, examine cost and permissions, deploy safely, and explain every resource.
Branch, build, test, review, open a pull request, merge deliberately, deploy, verify, and debrief.
THE REPEATABLE ENGINEERING LOOP
INITIAL FLIGHT TRAINING · FOUR STAGES
Each stage comes directly from the CASE mission progression and Flight Log standard: understand the system, build the environment, repeat the engineering pattern, and prove the work.
Take possession of an existing system and operate it safely with Codex.
Choose, provision, and explain an appropriate AWS hosting environment.
Practice the repeatable professional loop from requirement through production verification.
Connect meaningful engineering work to evidence, reflection, and demonstrated competence.
THE OUTCOME
You wrote software.
You lead AI-assisted software delivery.
Complete the two-day intensive and receive a certificate recognizing your CASE initial flight training—from repository transfer and local flight through AWS deployment, engineering review, and Flight Log debrief.
CASE FLIGHT LOG
The Flight Log records meaningful engineering activity—not passive screen time. Missions connect active practice to evidence such as branches, commits, tests, pull requests, deployments, debriefs, and instructor signoffs. Hours support the record. Performance earns the credit.
TAUGHT LIVE BY BILL HOOD
Bill brings an uncommon combination of hands-on engineering, teaching, entrepreneurship, and enterprise AI delivery.
“I won't teach you how to ask AI for code. I'll teach you how to direct the work, test the result, and own the architecture.”
LIVE 2026 SESSIONS · 16 SEATS EACH
Beginner and advanced courses share the same focused format: two live online days, twelve classroom hours, and hands-on work with Bill Hood.
