Specialization - 3 course series

This specialization is designed for beginners who want to build software using AI—no coding experience required. You'll learn the fundamentals of vibe coding and how to use tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and ChatGPT to turn your ideas into real, working apps.

Whether you're a marketer, designer, accountant, or creative professional, this course will help you harness AI to build software faster and smarter.

In the final course, you'll also get a beginner-friendly introduction to the core technologies behind the apps—like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—focusing on high-level understanding rather than complex syntax.

These skills will enable you to confidently build apps using any vibe coding IDE, whether you prefer browser-based solutions like Lovable, Bolt, or v0, as well as professional tools like Windsurf, Cline, or Claude Code.

Applied Learning Project

Build a personal portfolio website where you can showcase your skills and projects to potential employers. You'll also learn how to build small games, Chrome extensions, database-powered apps, and even a mobile app. To make your apps available for the world, you will learn how to deploy them using tools like GitHub and Netlify.

Vibe Coding with GitHub Copilot

You’ll also explore how to use context tools and slash commands to guide Copilot’s responses, and apply your skills to a complete coding project with real-world workflows.

This course is ideal for early-stage developers, students in STEM fields, and professionals curious about AI-powered coding assistants. What sets this course apart is its hands-on approach: each lesson is short, practical, and focused on building real coding intuition, not just theory. You’ll see Copilot in action and learn how to make it a powerful extension of your IDE and development process.
