Still to come

Written and being finalised. Target dates, not promises — but the material exists.

🔒 Part 7 · Vibe Coding a 3D Game with Unity and MCP Target: October 2026 · 150–210 min

August 19, 2026 Improved

● Part 1 used to ask you to read about tools, choose an idea, and learn a prompting framework before you saw anything work. That order is now reversed. After a two-item readiness check you go straight to Google AI Studio, paste in a prompt we have written for you, and have a working teaching app in front of you in about ten minutes.
● New module: Share it, and see what is missing. You publish that first app straight from AI Studio and get a link you can send someone — no GitHub, no Vercel, no accounts beyond Google.
● The teaching then follows, and it lands better for having something to compare against: choosing your own idea, brainstorming, and the CRAFT framework, before you rebuild your own app properly and publish it to an address you control.
● GitHub and Vercel signups have moved out of the readiness check to the lesson that actually needs them, so nothing asks you to create an account before you have seen the tool work.
● Updated throughout for the current AI Studio: the GitHub control is now called "Push to GitHub", AI Studio can import a project back in from GitHub, and the explanation of what an AI-powered app costs once it leaves AI Studio has been corrected.
● If you were part-way through Part 1, nothing is lost: your completed lessons keep their ticks and follow the content to its new position.

● Part 3 is now the local coding environment: VS Code, Git, and setting up Codex or Claude Code. It comes before architecture because that is the workspace the rest of the course builds in.
● Part 4 is now architecture — and it builds your planned app with Codex or Claude Code in your own editor rather than in Google AI Studio. AI Studio remains the right tool for Part 1 and quick prototypes; a planned app with several screens, roles, and saved data goes better in a tool that reads your whole project before it changes anything.
● If you were part-way through, nothing is lost: your completed lessons follow the content to its new part number automatically.

August 1, 2026 New

● Parts 4, 5 and 6 are released. Every paid part is now available immediately, at every price — no more waiting for a reveal date.
● Part 4: local coding environment and AI coding tools, now taught with a safe workflow — a checkpoint before you start, a branch to work on, a preview before anything goes live, and a way back at every stage.
● Part 5: API keys, environment variables and security, expanded with the piece that matters most — which part of your app is allowed to read a secret, and how to brief an AI assistant to connect a service without exposing your key.
● Part 6: testing, debugging and deployment confidence.
● Pricing moves to US dollars: $99 through August 31, $129 from September 1. Everyone who has already bought keeps full access to everything, including every part added later.

August 1, 2026 Improved

● Updated the steps for getting your code onto GitHub: AI Studio now calls it "Sync to GitHub", in the menu beside the Publish button.
● New module: Troubleshooting and FAQ. Failed builds, blank pages, repositories Vercel cannot see, changes that do not appear live — each with the cause and the fix.
● Clearer guidance on AI features and cost. Apps that call AI while students use them need a paid key of your own once they are live; everything else in Part 1 needs no key and no card. This is now flagged before you build, not after you deploy.
● Answered the question the tools now raise for themselves: why we deploy to Vercel rather than using Google’s own hosting.

July 29, 2026 New

● New module: Build your planned app. You build the same idea twice — once from a one-sentence description, once from your brief — then compare the results and deploy the better one.
● Part 3 now finishes with a certificate covering Parts 1 to 3.
● Accounts added. Sign in with the email you bought with and your access works on any device, even if cookies get cleared.
● The course is now published as a growing product: one payment covers every part added later, and the roadmap shows what is coming and when.

July 3, 2026 Improved

● Added the standalone guides section: a step-by-step domain setup walkthrough and a plain-English glossary of every tool the course mentions — both free to everyone.
● Reworked site navigation and the footer so the free material is easier to find.
● Full editorial pass across every part, tightening wording and fixing inconsistencies.

May 30, 2026 Improved

● Drafted the material on API keys, environment variables and security, and on testing, debugging and deployment confidence. Both are being finalised for release — see the roadmap for dates.

May 29, 2026 New

● Published the architecture part: turning user stories into a plain-English brief covering screens, roles, data, outputs and flow.
● Added a vocabulary of the component types a teaching tool might need, including AI components, each with a plain-English gloss.
● Added checkout so the paid parts could be purchased.

May 28, 2026 New

● Published the user stories part: a four-stage guided conversation that turns a rough idea into a brief an AI can build from.
● Added the fresh-eyes test — paste your brief into a brand-new chat and see whether it stands on its own.
● Broke the material into shorter modules after early readers said the first version was too dense.

March 15, 2026 New

● Published Part 1: build and deploy a working teaching app from a plain-English description, in one session.
● Added completion certificates, delivered as a PDF by email.
● Published the terms of use and privacy policy.

The course is $129 USD. Buy once and you never pay again, whatever it costs later.
