Vibe Coding & Building Apps with AI

Yes — that’s exactly who this course is for. Vibe coding means describing what you want in plain language and having AI write the code for you. You don’t need to know programming syntax, algorithms, or computer science theory. By Module 2, you’ll have built your first working application. The instructor learned to build this way too — no programming background, just a willingness to describe things clearly and iterate.

Real, working applications you can use and share — not toy demos. The course includes complete build-along projects: an educational game, interactive quizzes, a learning app, a calculator, a dashboard, a teleprompter, a timer, landing pages, and portfolio sites. Module 7 covers hosting, so your apps live on the web for anyone to access. By Module 10, you’ll have a portfolio of projects to show for it.

A computer and access to an AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, or similar). That’s it to start. Module 3 covers AI coding assistants in detail, including free options. Cursor is recommended as you progress, but it’s not required — you can start building with just a text editor and a chatbot. No expensive software, no special hardware.

Module 9 teaches you just enough HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to understand what AI generates — not to write code from scratch, but to read it, spot issues, and make small edits. Think of it as code literacy rather than computer science. You’ll learn to communicate more effectively with your AI coding assistant, which means better results and fewer dead ends.

It’s arguably the most democratising development in the history of software. For the first time, anyone can build working applications by describing them in conversation. As AI coding assistants improve, this skill only becomes more powerful — not less. The course teaches principles, patterns, and problem-solving approaches that will serve you regardless of which specific tools dominate. The ability to think like a builder and communicate clearly with AI is a durable skill.

The course covers 10 modules, each with build-along projects — so the time is spent doing, not just watching. You’ll have working apps after your very first building session.

This course was designed by someone who isn’t a tech person either. The instructor is a non-programmer who learned to build with AI and now teaches others to do the same. If you can describe what you want clearly — “I need a quiz that asks five questions and shows a score at the end” — you can vibe code. The technical barrier has been removed. What matters now is having ideas and being willing to experiment.

Module 8 is entirely dedicated to debugging and problem-solving — the realistic part of building that most courses skip. You’ll learn how to describe errors to AI, how to roll back changes, and how to work through the inevitable moments when things don’t behave as expected. Getting stuck is part of the process, and the course treats it as a skill to develop, not a failure to avoid.

Traditional bootcamps teach you to write code from scratch — syntax, data structures, algorithms. That takes months and most people never finish. This course teaches you to build applications by describing them to AI, which is a fundamentally different (and much faster) approach. You won’t become a software engineer, but you will become someone who can turn ideas into functional tools. Different goal, different method, dramatically shorter timeline.

Absolutely. Many students build tools they use daily at work — calculators for specific workflows, dashboards that track what matters to their team, internal tools that solve annoying problems nobody else has fixed. The course teaches you to think about what you need and describe it clearly, so the applications you build are shaped by your real requirements, not hypothetical exercises.

The live lesson is $220 AUD ($150 USD) per person for the course. It covers the same core material in an instructor-led format with real-time Q&A, group exercises, and direct feedback from Rupert.
