What the class takes apart
Four things stand between you and understanding any piece of software. The class removes all four, using real apps you already know.
The universal parts
Every app you've ever used is built from the same handful of parts. Once you can name them on sight, nothing looks like a black box again.
How to see the shape
The one map that turns an unfamiliar product into something you can reason about — the same picture working engineers sketch on the first day.
Follow the data
Where information enters, where it waits, where it goes. You'll watch it move through an app without reading a single line of code.
Patterns and logic
Reverse engineering is a framework, not a gift. It's about training yourself to recognise patterns and logic — which anyone can learn.
By the end, we take one real app from "what is this?" to "I know exactly how this works."
Who this class is for
You hear words like "API", "backend", or "algorithm" and nod along, hoping nobody asks a follow-up.
You run a product, a team, or a business on software you didn't build — and you'd like to finally see under the hood.
You've been told you're "not a technical person", and you're done believing it.
If you've been writing software professionally for years, this class is too basic for you. It was built for everyone else.
"The biggest misconception is that you need a computer science degree to understand how software functions. With the right framework, anyone can learn to unpack how their favourite programs and apps were built from the ground up." Mikee Shattuck, to Business Insider
Mikee Shattuck teaches software to people who don't write it. His free class on reverse engineering any app or software has been covered by Fast Company, Inc., Business Insider, TechCrunch, WIRED, and Mashable.
His claim is simple and testable: you don't need a computer science degree to understand how modern apps are built. You need someone to show you where to look.
Questions, answered
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The class assumes zero coding or technical experience. If you can use apps and websites, you have everything you need to start.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The class is free — it exists to prove a point: anyone can learn to understand the software they use.
How do I watch it?
Sign up with your email and your class link arrives in your inbox. Watch it whenever it suits you — nothing to install.
I'm really not a "tech person". Is this actually for me?
That's exactly who it's for. The class was written for complete beginners — the people everyone else assumes can't understand this.
What will I be able to do afterwards?
Walk up to any app or website and have a real, grounded idea of how it's put together — what it's made of, how the pieces talk to each other, and where its information goes.
