Read code, write safer spreadsheets, automate repetitive work and use AI to write scripts you can check, without becoming a developer.

2h 59m5 constellations
AT THE SUMMIT, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO

01Read short programs and formulas and predict what they do

02Build spreadsheets that are tested, not trusted

03Automate repetitive tasks safely, with the payoff calculated

04Use AI to write small scripts, and review them before running
