.Reading code is a skill nobody teaches.
You learned to write code. But nobody taught you how to read it—how to land in an unfamiliar codebase and actually understand what's going on.
So you do what everyone does: grep around, add print statements, hope for documentation that doesn't exist. It works, eventually. But it's slow, frustrating, and you never feel confident you understand the full picture.
This course changes that.
You'll learn the systematic approach experienced developers use to read and understand code quickly:
Find entry points — Where does execution actually start?
Trace data flow — Follow information through the system
Identify patterns — Recognize common architectures at a glance
Build mental models — Understand the "why" behind the code
Navigate efficiently — Use your tools to move through code fast
Whether you're onboarding to a new team, reviewing pull requests, debugging production issues, or evaluating open source libraries—you'll have a repeatable process that works.
Stop guessing. Start understanding.
