Build an App with AI — No Coding Required

Vibe coding is changing how beginners approach software development. Instead of writing every line of code manually, you can describe what you want and collaborate with AI to generate working applications.The core of the course is a practical walkthrough where you build a fully functional browser-based focus timer app using the Codex web interface. You’ll learn how to structure prompts, review generated code, test functionality, refine features, and verify that no APIs or secrets are exposed.
