Master technical conversations. Build better products.

16 hours

En Español

Technology often feels like a black box, creating friction that slows innovation and causes misunderstandings. Tech for Product People is the intensive program designed to break that barrier and give you real technical fluency.

Through 8 practical modules, you'll demystify everything from APIs and cloud architecture to databases and generative AI. You'll finish this course with the confidence and vocabulary to make better decisions, speed up development, and become an indispensable partner to your technical team, building better products faster.

The Great Invisible Wall Between Product and Technology

As a product professional, you guide the "what" and the "why," but an invisible wall often separates you from the "how." This technical gap leads to ambiguous conversations with engineering, roadmaps disconnected from reality, and constant friction that hinders innovation. You're responsible for the product's success, but its technological core feels like an inaccessible black box, limiting your ability to lead with confidence and make truly informed decisions. Tech for Product People was created to demolish that wall. It's not a course to learn programming—it's an intensive program to give you technical fluency. We provide the vocabulary and mental models to understand the entire tech stack, from APIs and architecture to databases and AI. You'll gain the ability to join any technical discussion, make better trade-off decisions, and transform your relationship with engineering from friction to strategic collaboration, to build better products, faster.

You will apply Generative AI to create innovative product experiences: You'll learn to interact with LLM APIs and design effective prompts, giving you practical tools to specify and prototype smart features that delight users.

You will anticipate the future of product with a strategic vision on AI Agents: You'll understand what autonomous agents are and the new architectures they enable, preparing you to lead the next generation of products and navigate their technical and ethical challenges.

Curriculum

Dev Tools: The Digital Detective

In this module, you'll become a digital detective. You'll learn to use your browser's developer tools to inspect any web product, understanding how pages are structured and communicate. You'll uncover the hidden dialogue between your browser and the server, giving you the ability to diagnose issues and understand your product's technology from the ground up.

APIs and JSON: The Language of Apps

You'll master the language that connects the digital world: APIs. This module demystifies what they are and how they use the JSON format to exchange information between systems. Through practical exercises with tools like Postman, you'll gain the confidence to engage with developers about integrations, endpoints, and the communication logic that powers your product.

Architecture and Cloud: The Product Blueprints

Here you'll learn to read the blueprints of a digital product. You'll dive into high-level architecture diagrams to visualize how different components—from cloud servers to microservices—work together. This panoramic view will enable you to participate in strategic conversations about scalability, performance, and the infrastructure decisions that define your product's robustness.

Databases: Fundamentals and Schemas

You'll discover where your company's most valuable asset resides: data. This module focuses on database fundamentals, teaching you to differentiate between SQL and NoSQL models and interpret data schemas. You'll understand how information is organized, enabling you to collaborate effectively on feature design and comprehend the implications of how user data is stored.

SQL: Extracting Insights from Data

This module gives you the superpower of data autonomy. Through a 100% practical session, you'll learn to write SQL queries to interrogate the database directly. You'll stop depending on other teams for key metrics and be able to validate hypotheses, extract insights, and support your product decisions with evidence you discover yourself.

The Git Flow: The Software Factory

You'll gain a clear view of the factory where your product is built. You'll explore the development lifecycle—from code management with Git and GitHub to the importance of different environments and the role of testing. This understanding of the workflow will allow you to have more productive conversations with your engineering team and collaborate to launch features faster and with higher quality.

Using LLMs with APIs: Generative AI in Action

This module takes you to the forefront of innovation, teaching you to integrate Generative AI into your products. You'll focus on practical application, learning to interact with powerful Language Model (LLM) APIs. Through a prompt engineering workshop, you'll master the art of instructing AI to perform complex tasks, unlocking a universe of possibilities for your features.

Agentic AI: The Future of Product

You'll explore the next frontier of technology and product management. This module provides an overview of AI Agents—autonomous systems that can reason and act to achieve goals. You'll understand their fundamental architectures and debate the opportunities and challenges they present, from self-personalizing products to new ethical considerations, positioning yourself as a leader ready for the future.
