The Learning Path

From your first app to apps you have actually planned

Part 1 got something live. The paid parts teach the planning and architecture habits that make bigger builds work โ€” and one purchase covers every part still to come.

Part 1

๐Ÿ”จ

Build & Publish Your First Teaching App

Describe a tool in plain English. Learn to describe it well enough that AI builds the right thing. Deploy it to a live URL, all in one session. You leave with something real your students can use.

Complete60โ€“90 min

Part 2

๐Ÿ—บ

Plan Better Apps with User Stories

Most AI-built apps fall short because the brief was too vague. Learn to write user stories โ€” short, structured descriptions of who needs what and why โ€” so that AI builds exactly what you had in mind, not its best guess.

Start 75โ€“90 min

Part 3

๐Ÿ› 

Local Coding Environment & AI Coding Tools

Open your project in Microsoft's free Visual Studio Code. Use AI tools like Codex or Claude Code to make careful changes to your project files โ€” no more copy-pasting between a chat window and a browser tab.

Start 90โ€“120 min

Part 4

๐Ÿ—

Architecture for Vibe-Coded Apps

Turn your user stories into a plain-English architecture brief โ€” screens, roles, data, outputs, and how information moves. Then hand the brief to Codex or Claude Code in your own editor and ship the app you actually planned.

Start 90โ€“120 min

Part 5

๐Ÿ”

API Keys, Environment Variables, and Security Basics

Learn how apps connect to outside services, why API keys must stay private, and how environment variables keep those keys out of GitHub. Leaking a key by accident is the most common โ€” and most expensive โ€” mistake vibe-coders make.

Start 100โ€“120 min

Part 6

๐Ÿงช

Testing, Debugging & Deployment Confidence

Turn user stories into test cases, debug with AI more safely, check deployments, and run small regression checks before pushing changes live for your students.

Start 60โ€“90 min

The parts marked ๐Ÿ”’ are already written. They unlock for everyone who owns the course, at no extra cost, as each one is released.
