Vibe Coding Made Simple

Vibe Coding Made Simple takes an everyday professional from "I have never seen code" to shipping a product that customers pay for, built by directing AI coding agents and checking their work. It is written for office managers, coordinators, teachers, small-business owners and anyone who solves problems with spreadsheets and email today and would rather have a small tool that does the job. You do not become a programmer. You become the person who can say what to build, tell whether it was built right, and keep it running. The principles work in any AI building tool. Demonstrations use Claude: a browser builder in Level 1, then an AI editor, then Claude Code in the terminal. Every lesson ends with a build task, and every level carries one real project from start to finish, so nothing you make is a toy. Level 1, Builder, teaches how the web and an app are put together, how to write a spec before you prompt, and how to build a request-and-booking tool three ways: in a browser builder, in an AI editor reading every change, and from your own spec with a terminal agent, deployed to a live address. Level 2, Integrator, adds the parts that make an app trustworthy: a real database you designed, sign-in, roles, row-level security, the test that proves one customer cannot see another's data, tests the agent runs for you, and spec-driven development. Level 3, Architect, is the professional tier: drawing and defending architecture, the agent harness (CLAUDE.md, skills, hooks, subagents, MCP), payments with verified webhooks, breaking into your own app and fixing what you find, and running in production with CI, error tracking, backups and a timed rollback. Each level ends with a quiz and a capstone you upload: the project itself, scored against a published five-row rubric with an explanation for every row. Pass both and you earn that level's credential, with a number anyone can check on our public verification page.
