No degree, no jargon. Follow the path from briefing an AI to shipping a live app — and understand every moving part you meet along the way.
The complete journey from talking to an AI to a live app on the internet — in plain English. The four stages every vibe coder passes through, what each one means, and where people get stuck.
Get the machine to build what you actually meant.
A large language model explained in plain English: how it predicts text token by token, what a context window is, and why that matters for vibe coding.
ReadModern AI models need direction, not dictation. Learn the four-part brief — goal, context, constraints, verification — that gets clean, working code the first time.
ReadForget hoarding magic prompts. Learn the timeless principles for directing any AI model — goal, context, constraints, verification — that keep working as models improve.
ReadThe moving parts of your app — so you can picture what the AI just wrote.
The clearest plain-English explanation of frontend vs backend — what each one does, how they talk to each other, and why it matters when you vibe code.
ReadAn API explained in plain English with a simple analogy. Learn what an API does, what JSON is, and why APIs let you build powerful apps without reinventing the wheel.
ReadJSON explained simply: the tidy, labelled format apps use to send and store data. Learn keys, values, and why you'll see it everywhere.
ReadA database explained simply: think of it as a smart spreadsheet of tables, rows, and columns that an app can query for exactly the data it needs.
ReadThe two building blocks behind almost every line of code, explained with everyday analogies — a labelled box and a recipe.
ReadLibrary vs framework explained simply with the toolbox-vs-workshop analogy. Learn who's in control and why it matters for your project.
ReadStatic vs dynamic websites explained simply. Learn why static sites are fast, cheap, and perfect for most small projects and tools.
ReadCatch the mistakes and leaks before your users do.
You don't need to understand every line to trust AI-generated code. A simple, repeatable way to verify behaviour and catch the risky bits.
ReadWhat environment variables are and why API keys and passwords must never live in your code. A plain-English guide to handling secrets safely.
ReadFrom code on your screen to a live app on the internet.
Version control and Git explained simply: a save history for your code that lets you snapshot progress and roll back mistakes without fear.
ReadA build explained in plain English: the step that turns the code your AI wrote into the optimized files a server can actually serve. Why it works on your screen but breaks everywhere else — and how to fix it.
ReadThe three pieces that put a website online, explained simply: a domain is the address, DNS is the phonebook, hosting is the building.
ReadSkip the blank-page problem. Click together a stack — framework, database, auth, AI, payments — and download a real, runnable project you can build on.
