You don't need to be a coder anymore

For years, building a website or an app meant learning a programming language first, or paying someone who had. That wall is coming down. Today you can describe what you want in plain English, and an AI like Claude writes the code, explains it and fixes it when something breaks.

That doesn't make the work trivial. You still decide what to make, who it's for and what good looks like. Vibe Shop Class is about that part: turning your idea into something real, one clear step at a time.

What vibe coding is

You describe. AI builds.

Vibe coding means you describe what you want in plain words, and AI writes the code. You stay the designer, the decision maker and the owner.

  1. Describe it

    Say what you want like you'd tell a friend. Claude turns it into a plan and then into working code.

  2. Build it in 8 steps

    Every lesson is a short checklist that ticks off as you go, with jargon (domain, DNS, registrar) explained the first time it shows up.

  3. Ship it

    Real web addresses, real app stores, real storefronts. Every price is shown on screen before you spend a cent.
