Vibe Coding Crash Course

Build Real Things With Just Words

A hands-on 2–4 session course for non-technical professionals who want to create working apps, tools, and experiences using AI. No coding background needed.

What Is Vibe Coding?

"Vibe coding" is building software by describing what you want in plain English, letting AI handle the technical work. You don't write a single line of code. You act as the product manager: describing the idea, reviewing the result, and directing the AI to improve it.

Tools like Lovable, V0, Bolt, and Claude Artifacts have crossed a threshold where non-technical people can ship real, working things (games, web apps, internal tools, personal sites) in a single session. This course is about experiencing that firsthand, with someone who builds this way every day.

Why This Matters Right Now

Ideas become real things

The gap between "I wish this existed" and "here it is" has never been smaller. Professionals who learn to close that gap, even imperfectly, have an enormous advantage.

No technical gatekeepers

You no longer need a developer to prototype an idea, validate a concept, or build a simple tool for your team. You can do it yourself, in an afternoon.

Credibility through doing

Executives who have personally shipped something with AI speak about AI differently, and more convincingly, than those who have only read about it.

A foundation for more

Vibe coding is the on-ramp. Students who finish this course have the mental model to go further into real developer workflows, automation, and AI agents, if they choose.

Course Structure

Two courses offered as a progressive track. Take either standalone, or both in sequence. No coding experience required for either.

Intro · 2–4 Sessions

Intro to Vibe Coding

Build a working app from scratch, deploy it with a real URL, and learn the iteration loop that makes everything faster. Goal: ship something real using only plain English.

Intermediate · 3–4 Sessions

Intermediate Vibe Coding

Set up a real dev workflow with GitHub, Cursor, and AI coding tools. Learn documentation habits, context management, and how to build basic AI agents. Goal: work like a serious builder.

Intro Course: What Each Session Delivers

Sessions are 60–90 minutes. Hands on keyboard the entire time. This is a doing course, not a watching course.

1

Session 1: What Is Vibe Coding?

60–90 minutes

Start building something real from a blank screen using AI. By the end you'll have something working and a visceral sense of what's possible.

After this session you will be able to:

  • Build a working prototype (game, tool, or personal site) from scratch using only plain-English descriptions
  • Choose the right AI building tool for your project from the main options (Lovable, V0, Bolt, Claude Artifacts)
  • Use the "describe → see → improve" iteration loop to converge on the result you want
2

Session 2: Making It Real

60–90 minutes

Turn your prototype into something you can actually share, with a live URL and professional polish.

After this session you will be able to:

  • Deploy your project to the internet with a real shareable URL in under 5 minutes
  • Apply finishing details (custom domain, favicon, Open Graph images) that make a shared link look professional
  • Use AI to audit your own project and catch rough edges before sharing it
3

Session 3: Developer Foundations

Optional: for students who want to go further

Move beyond the intro tools and learn the foundational layer every serious builder uses: version control, deployment, and the terminal.

After this session you will be able to:

  • Save and manage your project history on GitHub so your work is never lost and can be shared or revisited at any point
  • Deploy updates to a live URL in seconds using Vercel, and understand what "pushing to production" actually means in practice
  • Use the terminal with enough confidence to install tools, run commands, and understand what's happening when something goes wrong
4

Session 4: AI Developer Tools

Optional: for students who want to go further

Learn the tools professional AI builders use every day: Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex. Work the way a developer works, without needing to be one.

After this session you will be able to:

  • Use Cursor or Claude Code to build and iterate on full projects with an AI that can see and edit your entire codebase at once
  • Give an AI coding tool the right context so its outputs stay accurate and targeted across a long project
  • Describe a complete feature in plain English and have a professional-grade AI developer build it alongside you in real time

Who This Is For

Professionals across every function who are curious about building with AI but haven't started yet, or who have dabbled and want someone to show them the right way to learn it. No technical background required. If you can write an email, you can take this course.

Offered as small group sessions or one-on-one. Custom formats available for teams.
