Vibe coding: Building full-fledged apps using AI coding tools

This hands-on masterclass takes you on a structured journey of how anyone not just engineers can build credible, AI-powered applications. We’ll break it down into three progressive levels, blending product thinking with AI-assisted coding:

Level 1: Kickoff & First Build

• Understand how AI is reshaping roles in product building, emergence of “generalist product builders”
• Explore the AI coding landscape (Lovable, Spark, Github Copilot, Cursor, Claude, , etc.) and know which tool to use when
• Kickstart your first app in minutes using a browser-based tool like Lovable
• Connect your project to GitHub and get a codebase/repo you own

Level 2: Local Development & Product Thinking in Code

• Move from no-code browser tools to local development using Cursor/GitHub Copilot
• Learn how to think like a product builder translating PRDs, user flows, and UI sketches into working applications
• Best practices for building: PRDs, rules.md files, logical commits, and structuring your repo, debugging

Level 3: Full-Stack App: From Prototype to Production

• Go beyond the basics to build a production-ready prototype: Add integrations - databases, OTP authentication, payments, LLM intelligence
• Deploy with compliant hosting options like Firebase
• Understand how to scale these skills for different use cases (e-commerce, internal tools, AI-driven apps)

Key Takeaways:

• A clear understanding of the AI coding tool landscape and how to pick the right one for the job
• Firsthand experience in moving from idea → prototype → full-fledged app
• A reusable playbook for prototyping quickly and effectively
• Best practices for prompting, debugging, integrations that are essential for building real applications
• The confidence that even with limited coding background, you can ship real applications

Pre-requisites:

• Github account created using your personal email account
• Laptop with (1) git, (2) nodejs, (3) VSCode or Cursor installed
