Technical Literacy for Non-Technical Teams
You work with software every day, but nobody explained how it actually works — what a database is, why APIs matter, what "the backend" means, or how AI fits into all of it. This course fixes that gap for non-technical people who work alongside engineers, talk to vendors, or evaluate technology decisions.
