Start with Vibe Coding: Claude Code

Build real, working software without writing a single line of code.

Vibe coding means you describe the result you want, in plain words. The AI writes the code, runs it, and shows you what happened. You look at the result and correct it — in the same plain words. Describe, look, correct, repeat. That loop is the whole method, and it is the only thing this course teaches you to do well.

By the end of two hours you will have built four real things: a desktop app that reads the details out of your photos, that same app packaged as a file you can double-click and send to someone, a personal web page live on the internet at your own address, and a script that sorts a folder of photos and runs itself every evening. Nothing is a toy example. Every project ends with something on your disk that works.

What makes this course different

Most beginner AI courses show you a screen recording and hope you can follow along. This one does not. Every command and every prompt is on the slide, in full, exactly as you will type it — and the narration tells you three things every single time: where to type it, what it does, and what success looks like on your screen. That last part is what usually goes missing, and it is the difference between finishing a lesson and getting stuck.

Nothing is left for you to fill in. Every file name, folder path, and prompt is complete and working.

What we cover

• Setup and your first session — what vibe coding is, which Claude tool to use for which job, installing Claude Code, and running a full session from start to finish

• Commands and control — the slash command menu, what fills up a session and what it costs, permission modes and plan mode, and the project file that stops you repeating yourself

• Your first real projects — a desktop app, packaging it for Windows and macOS, publishing a web page for free, and how to describe a bug properly

• Automation and agents — a photo-sorting script with a safe dry run, scheduling it on Windows and macOS, subagents that do one narrow job, and turning a prompt you keep retyping into your own slash command

• Without the terminal — the same work in Claude Projects and in Cowork, plus safety rules, what actually drives cost, and where to go next

An honest note before you enrol

Claude Code needs a paid Claude plan or an API key with credit. There is no free tier for it. If you do not have one, do not walk away — the final section shows the same projects done in Claude Projects, which works on the free plan. You do a little more copying and pasting; the results are identical.

How this course is built

Every lesson is short and ends with something you keep: a command, a prompt, or a rule. Each section closes with a written article containing the summary and five knowledge-check questions, plus a copy-paste sheet of every command and prompt from that section. The whole course is under two hours, on purpose. Short courses get finished.

You do not need to know Python. You do not need to have opened a terminal before. You need a computer and about two hours.
