Cursor Zero-Code Development Bootcamp: Application Development Basics, AI Model Configuration, ReactNative and iOS Project Setup

Course introduction:
This course teaches learners how to use Cursor to complete end-to-end product development without writing code by hand. The course first explains the basics of application development, distinguishes frontend and backend, introduces concepts such as databases, APIs, and authentication, and compares various AI coding tools; then it explains in detail AI model selection, configuration, cost, context windows, and Cursor-specific rules and toolkits; afterward, it provides hands-on construction of a React-Native mobile application, completing debugging and packaging; finally, it fully implements an iOS application, including project setup, UI optimization, authentication, storage, third-party service integration, security handling, and the entire process of testing and publishing, suitable for learners who want to build app products from zero.
