Course overview

Learn how to build your application using AI no-code tools in just 4 weeks.

No-code tools allow virtually anyone to build apps like a team of 5 devs. While you don't have to know any programming languages, there are a lot of potential false steps you can make when you are first learning to use these tools.


In this course, we will introduce you to "vibe coding" the right way. You will learn how to plan so that you can start out right. You will learn how to optimize prompts so that you can build something sound. You will learn how to structure your backend data and even understand SQL enough to make sure Lovable is setting things up right. You will even learn how to integrate ChatGPT and other APIs to take your apps to the next level.

Who is this course for

01

Non-technical founders who have a great idea but need to build an app without having to hire a developer.

02

UX designers who want to be able to take their design ideas directly to a live application to validate or just ship.

03

Product managers who want to take their ideas to an app to test a problem space, or to not be beholden to their dev team's fat backlog,

What you’ll get out of this course

Learn how to build great apps using Lovable

Building a decent app with no-code tools is a deceptively hard thing to do. We will teach you how to build a useful app that doesn't blow up as it scales and gets more complicated.

Avoid common mistakes non-technical people making when using no-code tools.

Give students an idea of how they can expect to grow throughout your course. Include specificity and precise results so students can benchmark exactly what they’ll learn.

Learn how to set up datastructures that can provide your back end.

Lovable has easy integration with Supabase, a real-time relational database. It is critical to learn some basics about relational database to ensure you build something with data that is structured correctly to scale, be secure, and be useful.

Learn how to integrate ChatGPT and other APIs to make powerful real-world apps.

While Lovable and Supabase combined can build powerful applications, integration third-party APIs - including AI ones like ChatGPT - can really make your app next level and provide the ability to offer AI assistance and more.

Build your first app with literally no coding or technical background needed.

You will come out of this 4 week course with your own app that you've developed. Go live or tweak it some more and launch - it's up to you.
