Evolve Your Code: Enhance Projects with AI and Vibe Coding

BeginnerGuided Project

Your codebase is a living entity. Learn how to nurture its growth and improve its health with AI and "Vibe Coding". This workshop is for developers looking to accelerate workflows and improve code quality. Through hands-on exercises, you'll master AI-powered techniques adding insightful documentation, creating effective unit tests, refactoring for clarity and performance, and prototyping new features. Learn to make your codebase more robust, maintainable, and innovative.

About this Guided Project
Is your codebase more of a tangled mess than a well-oiled machine? In today's fast-paced development world, code isn't just static text; it's a living entity that needs to grow, adapt, and improve. Many developers get bogged down by technical debt, spending more time deciphering old code than building new features. This project is your guide to breaking that cycle.

You'll discover how to nurture your codebase's growth and dramatically improve its health using two revolutionary approaches: Artificial Intelligence and "Vibe Coding." Forget tedious, manual tasks. We'll show you how to partner with AI to accelerate your workflow, enhance code quality, and inject innovation into your projects. You'll learn to use Bolt, a powerful "vibe coding" tool, to move from idea to prototype at unprecedented speed. By the end of this project, you won't just write code; you'll cultivate a robust, maintainable, and forward-thinking codebase that's a pleasure to work with.


A Look at the Project Ahead

In this hands-on guided project, you will step into the role of a developer tasked with revitalizing an existing codebase. You will use a powerful suite of AI tools and the vibe coding environment, Bolt, to transform the project from the ground up. You'll move beyond theory and directly apply cutting-edge techniques to see a tangible improvement in code quality and development speed.
As a result of completing this project, you will be able to:
  • Generate Comprehensive Documentation and Tests with AI: Automatically create insightful documentation and effective unit tests for existing code, saving hours of manual effort and making your projects easier for others (and your future self!) to understand.
  • Refactor Code Intelligently: Apply AI-powered techniques to refactor complex code for improved clarity, efficiency, and performance, turning confusing scripts into clean, professional-grade code.
  • Prototype Features at Lightning Speed: Use Bolt's "vibe coding" workflow to rapidly prototype and implement new features, allowing you to test ideas and innovate faster than ever before.
  • Integrate a Modern AI-Powered Workflow: Combine various AI tools into a cohesive development process to build codebases that are more robust, maintainable, and prepared for future innovation.

What You'll Need

This project is designed for developers looking to upgrade their skillset. No prior experience with AI development tools is necessary!
  • Prerequisite Skills:
    • Basic programming experience in a language like Python or JavaScript.
    • Familiarity with common development concepts like functions, variables, and control structures.
    • Comfort working within a code editor or IDE.
  • Technology Requirements:
    • A stable internet connection.
    • A current version of a modern web browser like Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari.
That's it! The IBM Skills Network Labs environment comes with all necessary AI tools pre-installed and pre-configured to ensure you can get started right away without any setup headaches.
