CourseSoftware Engineering and Vibe Coding: From Idea to Deployed Application
A conceptual foundations course for founders, product managers, aspiring builders, and newcomers who want to understand how software works and how to use AI agents responsibly for vibe coding.
By the end of this course, learners will understand the concepts, vocabulary, systems, decisions, and responsibilities involved in software engineering and vibe coding. They will learn how modern applications are structured, how AI agents participate in development, and how to reason about code, databases, APIs, GitHub, security, testing, and deployment before they begin a deeper practical build.
The goal is not to make learners dependent on AI-generated code. The goal is to help them use AI as a capable engineering assistant while retaining human ownership of the product, architecture, security, quality, and decisions.
What you'll be able to do
- Understand how modern software works across the frontend, backend, database, APIs, authentication, and hosting.
- Understand vibe coding and use AI coding agents responsibly with clear instructions, context, constraints, and verification.
- Transform product ideas into clear problem statements, user journeys, requirements, data models, and implementation plans.
- Understand GitHub, environment variables, security, testing, debugging, deployment, and responsible software maintenance.
- Make informed decisions about what to build, what to validate, and when a simpler solution is better than software.
