Vibe Coding 101
Ship real software without writing every line. Master the mindset, tools, and workflows that let AI do the heavy lifting while you stay in control of what gets built.
About This Course
Vibe coding is not a shortcut — it is a new mental model for software creation. Instead of writing syntax, you direct intent. Instead of debugging line by line, you reason about systems. This course teaches you to think like a vibe coder: how to break down ideas into components an AI can execute, how to choose the right tool for the job (Cursor, Lovable, Claude Code, v0), how to manage context so your AI stays on track, and how to ship and maintain software you did not write by hand. Six modules cover everything from the philosophical shift to production deployment, security hardening, and iterative maintenance. By the end, you will have built and deployed a real application using an AI-assisted workflow from concept to production.
What You'll Learn
- Adopt the vibe coding mindset: direct intent, not syntax
- Choose the right AI coding tool for each type of task
- Manage context windows to keep AI output accurate and on-track
- Break any product idea into components an AI can execute reliably
- Identify and fix the security vulnerabilities AI code commonly introduces
- Write natural-language test specs that AI converts to real test suites
- Deploy a working application to production with one command
- Maintain and extend AI-generated codebases without losing control
Who Is This For?
Build and ship your own MVP without hiring a developer or learning to code from scratch
Turn your Figma files and product specs into working software through AI-assisted development
Experienced engineers who want to 10x their output by delegating the boilerplate and staying in the architecture seat
Prerequisites
- No coding experience required — this course starts from zero
- Curiosity about how software is built is the only prerequisite
- Familiarity with using a web browser and typing is assumed
- A free account on at least one of: Cursor, Lovable, or Bolt.new will be needed for Module 2 exercises
