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. Specifically, you will learn: 🔥 How to plan your product before you start using the Vibe PRD that will be embedded in every prompt to ensure that your product has a clear vision and the vibe coder doesn't hallucinate or make incorrect assumptions. 🔥 How to optimize prompts so that you can build something sound and you control how it is scaled out to ensure clean code. 🔥 How and why to create a database to store user and other data. 🔥 How to manage your data effectively and securely using Supabase, including how to understand SQL so that you can ensure your database is structure correctly. 🔥 How to AI-enable your vibe coded apps using ChatGPT, Claude or other AI tools. 🔥 How to integrate other tools to make highly interactive UIs, integrate payments with Stripe, integrate email functionality and more. 🔥 How to integrate with a larger team by exporting code to GitHub. 🔥 How to deploy your apps to production. 🔥 How to use Lovable to the fullest and optimize your creditsi. After just 4 weeks, you will be a master vibe coder with your own fully-featured and working application live!

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

Every Monday, you will be presented with a lesson on a new topic: Lovable prompting, Supabase databases, ChatGPT and backend coding, and more. If you can't make these, they will be recorded and you will be able to watch at your leisure.

Monday Concept Lessons

You will have an opportunity to bring questions and issues so that you can troubleshoot and move past them swiftly and with help.

Wednesday Optional Troubleshooting & Office Hours

Every week you will submit your work so far, culminating in your final application: <ul><li>Your Lovable UI</li><li>Your UI with data</li><li>Your UI with API or authentication</li><li>Your final app</li></ul>

Weekly projects

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

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

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,

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.

Learn how to build great apps using Lovable

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.

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

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 set up datastructures that can provide your back end.

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.

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

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.

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

Anyone can "vibe code" apps using generative AI. This course helps you avoid common pitfalls while you build your first app.

Cohort 1

Like many software people, I started out as a developer before moving into product and executive leadership, but I never lost my love for the game. After years of barely coding, AI has given me the ability to build again, and it's also introduced a new concept -- agentic workflows -- which opens the door to truly intelligent software. I've been building AI workflows and writing AI code for almost 2 years now, and I can say two things with extreme confidence: 1) AI tools are going to completely change how we build software, both in terms of code and architecture, and 2) you can't learn how to do it from a book -- you need to get your hands dirty. This one-day, immersive workshop is designed for developers who want to quickly build competence with agentic coding and workflow tools. Former developers, engineering managers, technical PMs or designers, etc. are all welcome -- if you sorta know how to code or spend a lot of time close to code, you'll get a ton out of this course. I will show you how I use AI tools to code and build flows in the real world, we'll work through examples together in your own local environment, and you'll end the day having built real software with AI. No sales pitches, no bullshit -- just real stuff you can use that will get your creative juices flowing. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT Hands-On ExamplesWe'll start with a few basic concepts around autonomy and then look at a variety of tools -- from Copilot to Claude Code to Cline, and everything in between -- and I'll share real client stories of using agentic AI to build and deploy software and agent workflows with LangGraph and LangSmith. We'll also look briefly at low-code builders like Lovable, Bolt and Tempo. Then we'll learn by doing, applying those tools and techniques to real codebases (we'll cover frontend React, backend Java, and LangGraph Python workflows) in your local dev env. Curated Tools and Techniques I'll demonstrate and help you get set up, answer any and all questions in real time, and share tips and techniques that have worked for me and help you adapt them to your process. You won't write a single line of code yourself, but you'll have several working software examples by the end of the day. I've done this with large teams (see Testimonials below) and it's amazing how much you can get done when AI is in play! Rapid Progress + Community and SupportYou may wonder why this isn't a multi-day (or multi-week) course -- but the goal of this workshop is to kickstart your ability to use AI in a software context. What you do with that ability is up to you -- you can build awesome prototypes, or become a model behavior architect designing and tuning workflows (much like I'm doing today), or be a superfast full stack app builder for hire. You'll be connected with the Not Safe for LinkedIn community (this is a side project of mine -- a place to discuss the changing landscape of life and work away from prying corporate eyes!) where you can reach me and other workshop folks as your journey unfolds. I'm always available for questions and advice -- and for coaching and private workshops if needed! Enhance Your ExpertiseVibe coders aside, most people who are winning with AI are leveraging existing expertise to move faster and make better choices. Lean into what you're already good at, use AI to make it even better, and you'll have a leg up on the competition. This applies to all software roles -- product, dev, design, project mgmt, etc. Immediate, Tangible ROIUsing AI can make you faster and better - which either frees up time to do more of what you love, or increases the value you deliver per unit of time, so you can deliver more value (and hopefully get paid for it!). At worst, you'll look awesome to your boss. --- Agentic coding and workflows are going to completely change how software is built. Don't miss out -- get in the game, get good at this stuff, and build a better future for you and your teams! Please note: Private cohorts are available for teams of 50+! ﻿Please reach out to me at d@jpsj.me if you're interested in a customized version of this workshop for your engineering and/or product delivery team. We can focus on technologies native to your stack and/or agentic tools that are available in your environment (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc.)

One-day hands-on AI coding workshop for developers -- from FOMO to FAFO, fast!

Make sure you have 8GB of RAM, admin mode and Homebrew or Chocolatey or similar to help you get going. Replit also works!

Lapsed coders will be fine, non-coders are still more than welcome, but if you don't know what code looks like, it may be tough to keep up

You need to be comfortable looking at/working with code

We'll introduce agentic coding and workflow concepts, and show-and-tell a variety of tools, examples and best practices.

Part 1: Concepts/Demos

Break

We'll do a live workshop, hands on keyboard, where we all use AI tools to modify and run sample code exercises. You'll leave with working software examples that you can continue to modify and enhance on your own.

Part 2: Hands on Keyboard Workshop

Engineers who are already coding with AI, or who could use a push to get started, and want to be thoughtful about best practices and tooling

Product managers or designers who want to level up technically and start building prototypes or workflows without developer help

Managers and executives who want to understand what's possible with state of the art tools, and maybe even get back into the game themselves

We'll work through real examples of frontend and backend code, and use AI tools to modify it. You won't write a single line of code yourself!

You'll use AI codegen tools to build and modify real software

We'll discuss opportunities and pitfalls when using AI to build software, and ensure that you can bring this knowledge back to your teams

You'll use and understand best practices for AI coding in production environments

We'll explore tools like Lovable, Tempo, GitHub Spark and more, and understand how they can be integrated into a larger build process if your prototype(s) get the green light

You'll explore AI rapid prototypers and how to shape their output

We'll use LangGraph (one of many agent frameworks) to create workflows, run them locally and observe chain of thought and tool use. Please note: this requires an API key -- Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter all fine

You'll build and run agentic workflows, from start to finish

One day, no gimmicks, no pitches, just building real code and workflows.  You'll walk away competent and confident in building with AI
