Practical Vibe Coding: AI-Powered Software Development

Time to get hands-on. We’ll start building our first real app using AI prompts — no technical setup or prior experience required.

• Create your free Lovable account

• Learn your way around the tool

• Understand the workspace, layout, and key menus

Great prompts = great results.

You’ll learn:

• How to structure prompts that get clean outputs

• What not to do

• How to turn an idea into a prompt sequence that builds real functionality

We’ll build the core of your first app using AI and plain English prompts. This is where you’ll see vibe coding come to life — no traditional coding required.

Each tool has its own rules.
Here you’ll learn how to:

• Use Lovable’s built-in instructions

• Leverage tool-specific tips to get better results

• Stay in sync with how the AI interprets your prompts

Now that the foundation is built, we’ll use prompts to iterate, polish the UI, and improve usability. This is how real-world apps evolve using vibe coding.

AI doesn’t always get it right on the first try. In this lesson, you'll learn how to debug prompt-generated code, refactor for clarity and scalability, and add new features without starting over. These are essential low-code skills that make your app more maintainable and future-proof.

Many real-world apps require data storage. We’ll integrate your vibe-coded frontend with Supabase to simulate a functional backend. You’ll connect fields, test database entries, and explore how modern low-code platforms handle dynamic content — no complex setup or backend dev required.

Let’s clean things up before publishing.
In this lesson:

• You’ll tweak layout, color, and flow

• Preview your final version

• Ensure everything works across devices

This step helps transform a working draft into a usable AI-powered web app.

Your app may be built with AI, but it still produces real code. Here, you’ll learn how to integrate GitHub for backups, version control, and future developer handoff — a must for collaborative or enterprise workflows.

Before deploying your AI-generated app, you need to evaluate basic security.

You’ll deploy a real, working web app in minutes using vibe coding and Lovable.

In this wrap-up, we’ll look at what you’ve accomplished and how each concept — from prompting to deployment — fits into real-world AI app development. This project taught you how to build, iterate, connect a backend, and publish a functional app using nothing but your ideas and vibe coding.

Where does vibe coding actually belong inside a company?

This lesson explores:

• Internal workflows it can streamline

• Common use cases in HR, sales, ops, and product

• How vibe coding helps teams move fast without bottlenecks
  
  

It’s not just about apps — it’s about business impact.

From Cursor and Claude to Base44 and Lovable, new low-code tools are emerging fast.

This lesson gives you a landscape view of:

• The most widely used vibe coding tools today

• Key differences between AI-powered platforms

• Why understanding the principles matters more than knowing any one tool
  
  

Knowing the tools is useful. Knowing how to adapt to any tool? That’s essential.

Follow Valentin as he builds a useful app using Cursor.

Unlike visual no-code tools, Cursor gives you full control over code and structure — but powered by AI. You’ll see how prompts can be used to scaffold working code fast, and how technical users can adapt vibe coding to deeper workflows.

Watch Federico build a real-time dashboard using Claude’s low-code environment.

You’ll learn:

• How he starts the project with Claude

• How Claude interprets logic

• The limitations and advantages of the tool
  

This is a practical build, not a demo — watch it come together step by step.

In this lesson, you’ll create a Base44 account and take a quick tour of the platform.

We’ll cover:

• Where Base44 fits in the vibe coding ecosystem

• How it supports backend logic

• What makes it different from tools like Lovable or Claude
  
  

If you’re looking to build apps that do more than just display content, this is a good place to start.

We’ll build a fully functional app using Base44’s AI-powered development interface.

This build will show:

• How to turn your app idea into real screens and logic

• How to prompt for features and structure

• How backend elements are handled in low-code workflows
  

This is a great example of vibe coding for internal tools with real functionality.

Base44 goes beyond basic UI generation. In this lesson, you’ll explore some of the platform’s most powerful features, including API support, user management, and backend handling.

You’ll leave with a better sense of what kinds of projects Base44 is best suited for — and when to bring in a more technical collaborator.

Publishing from Base44 is fast — but there are decisions to make.

This lesson shows:

• How to move from prototype to shareable link

• Where your app is hosted

• What to consider before releasing your project internally or to clients

Let’s wrap up the Base44 build. You’ll revisit:

• The workflow from prompt to publish

• Backend integration lessons

• How this tool compares to the others you've used in the course
  
  

You’ve now built 4 apps across 4 tools — each with different strengths. Now it’s time to apply those skills wherever you work.

You’ve built four apps — now let’s talk about what matters when you start applying vibe coding in production.

We’ll cover:

• Code ownership and exporting

• Debugging and developer handoff

• When to bring in security, compliance, or IT

• And how to think about AI-generated code from a business and legal perspective
  

This lesson prepares you to apply vibe coding in real, high-stakes environments — responsibly.
