About this Guided Project
Have you ever had a brilliant app idea but felt blocked by a lack of coding experience? What if you could bring that idea to life in the time it takes to watch a movie? This project is your launchpad into the world of software creation, no matter your background. We're throwing out the old rulebook and introducing you to "Vibe Coding"—a revolutionary approach that uses Artificial Intelligence to turn your vision into a reality.

Forget steep learning curves and complex syntax. With "Vibe Coding," the focus is on your creativity. You'll partner with an intuitive AI tool called Vibe Coding Studio that acts as your co-developer, translating your ideas into functional code. This isn't just about learning to code; it's about learning to create. By the end of this 90-minute journey, you won't just have an app; you'll have the confidence and the skills to start turning all your future ideas into tangible, working projects.


A Look at the Project Ahead

In this guided project, you'll experience the entire application development lifecycle at an accelerated pace. We'll start with a simple concept and, step-by-step, use the power of AI and Vibe Coding Studio to build it into a fully functional application. You'll see firsthand how "Vibe Coding" streamlines the process, handling the heavy lifting so you can focus on the creative aspects of your design.
By the end of this project, you will be able to:
  • Translate an Idea into a Tangible Design: Use AI-powered tools to brainstorm and structure your application's features and user interface, turning a vague concept into a clear, actionable blueprint.
  • Build a Working Application with AI: Leverage our "Vibe Coding" environment to generate the code, build the application's core logic, all without writing a single line of traditional code yourself.

Leon Katsnelson

Director & CTO, IBM Developer Skills Network

I've had a very productive career in tech. I've touched many areas from mainframe, to manufacturing automation (IoT), to databases, big data, data science and AI, blockchain, and of course full stack and cloud-native development and DevOps. I started my career in test and QA, did quite a bit of development, product management, team leadership, and people management before becoming an executive. I had some great wins including bringing to market a billion $ product. And had some failures along the way. But throughout my career, one thing has always remained constant. I learned everything I could and used every chance I had to get a new skill. My goal in life is to help those who have an appetite for learning to acquire knowledge and skill to build their career or simply become better users of the latest tech.
