# Vibe coding training: build real software with Claude Code, Cursor and other AI tools

> Vibe coding training teaches you to build working software by describing what you want to an AI coding tool such as Claude Code or Cursor. We start with a small real project, then cover planning, prompting the build, reading and testing what the AI wrote, saving work with Git, protecting keys and data, and deploying safely.

Level 5 of our training path. The AI writes the code. You still own the result, so we teach you how to check it.

## Why it matters now
AI coding tools let non-developers ship internal tools, prototypes and sites in days. Without review, testing and security habits, they also ship bugs and leaked keys, and training prevents both.

## What is included
- Choosing tools: Claude Code, Cursor, Replit and others
- Planning a build before prompting
- Prompting, iterating and debugging with AI
- Git, GitHub and version history
- Testing, review and security basics
- Deploying to a live address

## How we do it
1. **Pick a project.** Choose a small, real tool to build.
2. **Plan.** Write a short spec before any code.
3. **Build.** Prompt, test and iterate with the AI.
4. **Ship.** Review, secure and deploy the result.

## Deliverables
- A working project
- Setup guide for your computer
- Prompt and review checklists
- Follow-up session

## Who it is for
- Founders and operators with ideas and no developer
- Marketers building calculators, pages and tools
- Developers adopting AI coding tools

## Frequently asked questions
### What is vibe coding?

Building software mainly by describing it to an AI in plain language and refining the result, rather than writing every line yourself. Andrej Karpathy coined the term in 2025.

### Is vibe-coded software safe to launch?

It can be, with review. We teach testing, secret handling and a pre-launch checklist so prototypes do not go live with obvious holes.
