Vibe Coding 101: Developing Smart Apps

Course track

Course Overview

Stop talking about AI and start building with it. Vibe Coding 101 is a project-first journey that transforms you from an AI user into an AI-powered developer. This course introduces “Vibe Coding” – the art of using natural language to steer powerful AI agents into building functional, real-world applications.

Following a Practical Lab Methodology, you will move from zero-code cloud environments to professional-grade “Agentic” development. By the end of this course, you won’t just have a certificate; you’ll have a live, cloud-hosted portfolio of custom smart apps.

What You Will Learn

  • The Art of the “Vibe”: Master structured prompt engineering (S.P.R. and Context-Action-Output) to communicate complex logic to AI.
  • Rapid Prototyping: Use Google AI Studio to build and publish apps directly to the cloud in minutes.
  • Agentic IDE Mastery: Setup and use Windsurf, a world-class agentic IDE, to manage multi-file projects effortlessly.
  • Database & API Integration: Connect your apps to live cloud databases (Supabase) and external “brains” (Spoonacular API).
  • Agentic Debugging: Learn to partner with AI to diagnose and repair code, turning errors into learning opportunities.

The Project Roadmap

The course is divided into two high-impact parts, each delivered through Step-by-Step Practical Labs:
