The resource includes 62 translated terms with daily-life analogies, 7 hands-on tool guides, a 6-chapter story following a student's AI-coding journey, and a 30-day learning path with daily missions. The project is available on GitHub under CC BY 4.0, with Bangla issue forms for community contributions.", "body_md": "A year of AI-coding discourse taught me one thing: the hardest part isn't the tools — it's the *vocabulary wall*. If English isn't your first language, \"token\", \"context window\", \"hallucination\", \"harness\" don't sound like concepts. They sound like spells. 🪄\n\nMatt Pocock's brilliant [Dictionary of AI Coding](https://github.com/mattpocock/dictionary-of-ai-coding) showed how teachable these words really are. So I adapted it into Bangla — and then kept going, way past where the original stops. Today it's a complete, free, open-source learning path:\n\n🔗 [https://github.com/dhrupo/dictionary-of-ai-coding-bangla](https://github.com/dhrupo/dictionary-of-ai-coding-bangla)\n\n**(words → tools → story → habit)**\n\n**📖 Part 1 — The words.** 62 terms across 7 sections, each with a daily-life analogy instead of a textbook definition. A model is a calculator that never presses its own buttons. Parameters are mixing-board knobs. And there's গোল্ডি (Goldie) — a goldfish with a 3-second memory who keeps reminding you that models are stateless too. 🐠\n\n**🛠️ Part 2 — The tools.** This is where it goes beyond the original: 7 hands-on guides covering real CLI commands (Claude Code + Codex, mapped back to the concepts — `/compact`\n\nis just the Compaction button), AI-friendly folder structure (`AGENTS.md`\n\n, `.claude/`\n\n, who reads what and when), bad-prompt → good-prompt rewrites, the popular community skills (brainstorming, grill-me, TDD, handoff…), 17 extra terms (RAG, embeddings, temperature, hooks…), token economics, and safety (including prompt injection, explained with a postman analogy).\n\n**📜 Part 3 — The story.** Instead of a tutorial you have to install things for, it's a 6-chapter read-along: রাফি, a 9th grader, builds his first portfolio site with an AI agent. He makes every classic mistake — vague prompts, trusting a hallucinated library, dragging a session deep into the dumb zone — and recovers using the tools from Part 2. Margin notes call back every concept at the exact moment it bites. The reader installs *nothing*.\n\n**🗓️ The 30-day path.** Reading isn't owning. So the book ends with 30 daily missions (5–15 min each). The first two weeks need zero setup — just any free AI chat and open eyes (\"ask the same question twice — did the answers match?\"). Weeks 3–4 go hands-on, but every mission has a read-only alternative.\n\nPlus: a myth-busting FAQ (\"AI will eat my job\", \"you need a CS degree\"), a 79-term alphabetical index, copy-paste `templates/`\n\n(a starter `AGENTS.md`\n\n, a working `/handoff`\n\ncommand, a `SKILL.md`\n\nexample), and 26 terminal GIFs — all reproducible from committed VHS scripts.\n\n`/compact`\n\nvs `/clear`\n\nvs handoff perfectly and people still won't know `grep`\n\ncouldn't match half my content (decomposed Unicode), GitHub slugs for emoji-prefixed headings start with a stray hyphen, and nested code fences need 4-backtick outers. The repo's link checker is a tiny Python script for a reason.Everything is CC BY 4.0. There are Bangla issue forms for \"I want a new word\" and \"I found a mistake\" — contributions of any size welcome, from a typo to a better analogy to a whole new section.\n\nAnd if you speak another language: steal this structure. The vocabulary wall exists in every non-English-speaking dev community, and the fix is surprisingly fun to build. 💙", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-a-complete-ai-coding-handbook-in-bangla-words-tools-a-story-and-a-30-day", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/dhrupo/i-built-a-complete-ai-coding-handbook-in-bangla-words-tools-a-story-and-a-30-day-path-879", "published_at": "2026-06-05 17:14:15+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-05 17:42:57.556663+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models", "ai-tools", "ai-products", "generative-ai"], "entities": ["Matt Pocock", "Dictionary of AI Coding", "Claude Code", "Codex", "Goldie"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-a-complete-ai-coding-handbook-in-bangla-words-tools-a-story-and-a-30-day", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-a-complete-ai-coding-handbook-in-bangla-words-tools-a-story-and-a-30-day.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-a-complete-ai-coding-handbook-in-bangla-words-tools-a-story-and-a-30-day.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-a-complete-ai-coding-handbook-in-bangla-words-tools-a-story-and-a-30-day.jsonld"}}
