From SOP to Web App (No Developers Required) — Greg Dickson
Learn how non-developers can transform Standard Operating Procedures into fully functional internal web applications, no coding experience needed.

Key Points:
• Turn any documented process into an interactive tool your whole team can use
• Build apps with user logins, databases, and professional interfaces — all through conversation
• Eliminate bottlenecks waiting for IT or development resources
• Scale your internal processes without scaling your tech team

Who This Is For:

• Operations managers, team leads, and business owners
• Anyone with SOPs who wants to make them easier to follow and enforce
• Non-technical professionals looking to build real tools for their teams

Vibe Coding with Claude — Caelan Huntress
Discover how to build software by describing what you want instead of writing code line by line. Learn the art of "vibe coding" — where you set the direction, and Claude handles the implementation.

Key Points:
• Code through conversation: Express your ideas naturally and watch them become working software
• Debug faster by explaining problems instead of hunting through stack traces
• Iterate rapidly: Change direction mid-build without rewriting everything
• Build beyond your skill level: Create full-stack applications even if you're not a developer
• Learn while you build: Understand what's happening under the hood through AI explanations

Who This Is For:

• Founders and entrepreneurs who need to ship products quickly
• Developers who want to code at the speed of thought
• Product managers ready to prototype their own ideas
• Anyone who's ever been frustrated by the gap between vision and execution
