Computer Science, Programming & Cybersecurity: Practical Skills for Real-World Technology
course price icon
From 14.82 € /h
arrow icon
Technology is everywhere, and understanding how it works and how to protect it can open doors to exciting opportunities. I’ve designed this course as a hands-on journey into networking, programming, and cybersecurity, where you don’t just learn theory, you practice real skills that matter in the digital world.

In this course, I’ll guide you through building and analyzing networks, writing programs with Python and other languages, and exploring how systems communicate and interact. You’ll dive into cybersecurity fundamentals, learn to identify vulnerabilities, understand how attacks happen, and practice defending systems like a pro.

Through interactive exercises, practical examples, and real-world scenarios, I’ll show you how hackers think, how organizations respond to threats, and how to secure systems effectively.

By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence, knowledge, and hands-on experience to tackle networking, programming, and security challenges and apply these skills in your studies, career, or personal projects.
Extra information
Bring your own laptop with administrative access. Basic familiarity with using a computer is helpful, but no prior programming or cybersecurity experience is required. I’ll provide all the tools, guidance, and materials you need to practice networking, programming, and cybersecurity exercises during the class. Internet access is recommended for some practical exercises and research.

About Me
I am a cybersecurity engineer with over 3 years of real-world experience in both offensive and defensive security. I enjoy teaching because I like breaking down complex technical topics into clear, practical concepts that students can actually apply. My teaching style is patient, structured, and hands-on. I focus on understanding why things work, not just memorizing steps or tools.

When I teach, I adapt to the student’s level and goals. Whether you are a beginner starting from zero, a university student, or someone preparing for cybersecurity certifications or a job, I create lessons that are clear, interactive, and focused on real-world scenarios. I believe learning is most effective when students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

I enjoy working with motivated students who want to learn practical skills, improve their problem-solving abilities, and build confidence in cybersecurity, networking, and ethical hacking. My goal is to help students not only pass exams, but also think like security professionals.

Learn to add AI features to your applications using ChatGPT API. Taught by a Full-Stack Engineer who's integrated AI into real client projects.

What You'll Learn:
ChatGPT API Integration: Add AI chat, content generation, or text analysis to any web app
Prompt Engineering: Write effective prompts that give consistent, quality results
Production Implementation: Rate limiting, cost management, error handling, security
Real-World Deployment: Deploy AI features to AWS with proper monitoring and logging

Technologies:
OpenAI API (ChatGPT-4)
React/Next.js frontend integration
Node.js/NestJS backend
Secure API key management
Cost optimization (don't waste money on API calls)

Perfect For:
Developers: Add AI to your portfolio (instant differentiation from other candidates)
Freelancers: Offer AI integration services
Students: Build an AI-powered projects that stands out
Entrepreneurs: Add AI features to your product without hiring an AI engineer

What We'll Build:
AI chatbot for your website (customer support, FAQ assistant)
Content generation tool (blog posts, product descriptions, social media)
Text analysis features (summarization, sentiment, keyword extraction)
Custom AI assistant for your specific use case

Real Examples:

E-commerce: AI product description generator
Real estate: AI property listing writer
Marketing: AI social media content creator
Education: AI study assistant

What's Included:
Working code you can deploy immediately
Cost management strategies (API calls can get expensive!)
Error handling and fallback strategies
Production deployment checklist

No AI experience needed - just basic JavaScript/React knowledge.

Objective: To understand AI without fear, to use it to simplify one's life and to know how to identify digital traps.

1: Demystifying AI (What exactly is it?)
AI is not a movie robot: Difference between fiction and reality.

How it works (simply): The image of the "giant library": AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the continuation of a sentence or create an image.

Where is it already present? Spell checkers, Netflix/YouTube suggestions, GPS, and voice assistants (Siri/Alexa).

2: Using AI to make life easier
Conversing with AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini):

Ask him to write an administrative email or a complex letter.

Summarize a long newspaper article or document.

Plan a travel itinerary or find recipe ideas with what's left in the fridge.

AI for creativity and memory:

Generate images to illustrate a birthday card (Midjourney, DALL-E).

Using AI to restore or colorize old family photos.

3: Learning to "talk" to AI (The Art of the Prompt)
The context method: Why "Give me a cake recipe" is less effective than "I am allergic to gluten and I am hosting 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe".

The expert's role: Learning to tell AI "Act like a travel guide" or "Act like an expert gardener".

4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (The Survival Guide)
"Hallucinations": Understand that AI can make false claims with complete certainty (never take medical or legal advice from AI without verification).

Privacy protection:

Never give sensitive data (social security number, passwords, bank details) to an AI.

Knowing that everything we write to the AI is potentially used to train it.

Spotting "Deepfakes":

How to recognize a doctored image or video (details on the hands, strange reflections, slightly metallic voice).

Verify the information: the golden rule of cross-referencing sources.

5: Ethics and Impacts (To go further)
Copyright: Who owns an image created by AI?

The environmental impact: The water and energy consumption of AI servers.

The future: Will AI replace us or assist us?

Many students today use AI tools like ChatGPT, but often in an unsafe or improvised way. Legitimate questions arise: Is it allowed? How can mistakes be avoided? How can AI be used without losing control of one's own thinking?

This course isn't about shortcuts or "machine-done work." It focuses on understanding AI as a tool and learning to use it consciously and responsibly. We work with concrete examples from the university setting and show how AI can support learning without compromising academic integrity.

One of the course's central themes is AI as a research tool. We'll explore how to define topics, formulate effective research questions, and structure a project from the outset. AI can help gain an overview and organize ideas, but we'll also clearly analyze its limitations and the need for critical self-reflection.

From there, we move on to academic writing. From developing outlines and arguments to improving style and clarity, AI can be a valuable tool. We demonstrate how to work with drafts, detect inconsistencies, and avoid common errors that often cause problems in academia.

Another section is dedicated to learning with AI. Explaining complex texts, clarifying concepts, reviewing content, and checking one's own understanding are especially valuable uses if the right questions are asked. The goal is to use AI actively, not passively.

Finally, we use AI as an intellectual sparring partner. Not as a substitute for our own thinking, but as an interlocutor that helps to compare arguments, raise objections, and explore other perspectives. This is where AI's greatest real value often lies: thinking better, not thinking less.

The course is designed for students of any discipline. No prior knowledge is required. The goal is to gain confidence in using AI and learn how to integrate it productively and responsibly into university studies.
