Using Coding Agents
The life of a click, the three-part map, and the cockpit you will command all semester.

Class summary
One click, about 200 milliseconds, and the entire map of the semester gets drawn: the browser and its only three languages, the request crossing DNS and TLS and HTTP, the kitchen where backends exist because of secrets, shared state, heavy work and trust, and the database at the end of it. Fold that map once and every application is three parts — frontend, APIs, backend. Class 07 relabels the same drawing.
Then the cockpit is handed over: Antigravity as the place you command agents, Supabase as where truth lives (real Postgres, auth, row-level security), and sixty years of hosting as a ladder — bare metal to VPS to EC2 to Heroku to Lambda to Netlify — each rung converting an ops chore into a line item. That ladder is why a non-CS student ships real software in week 3. The close is this course site read as its own exhibit: repo tree, static export, CDN.
