Vibe Coding
Course
Melbourne
Learn to build real web applications by describing what you want to AI. No coding experience needed. Hands-on courses from a 1-day workshop to a 12-week programme. According to StackOverflow's 2026 survey, 92% of developers now use AI coding tools daily.
What is Vibe Coding?
Vibe coding is a term coined by Andrej Karpathy (co-founder of OpenAI) in February 2025. It describes building software by describing what you want in natural language and letting AI generate the code. You don't need to learn programming languages -- you learn to communicate with AI tools that write production-quality code for you.
Describe, Don't Type
Tell AI what you want in plain English. No syntax to memorise, no documentation to read. You describe the feature and the AI writes the code.
AI Generates the Code
Tools like Cursor, v0, and Claude turn your descriptions into working code — React components, database schemas, API routes, and full pages.
You Guide and Iterate
Review what the AI built, request changes, fix issues through conversation. You're the architect directing the AI, not typing every bracket.
Ship Real Products
Deploy to the internet the same day. Vibe coding produces real, production-quality applications — not prototypes or mockups.

From Our Students
“I don't have a lot of skills or know-how with coding, but Callum introduced us to v0, Supabase and it was very well explained. Pretty much blown away with what we could have accomplished in just a couple of hours.”
Paul
buildDay Attendee
“We didn't realise how powerful it was to just use these tools — we thought we had to do everything manually.”
James
buildDay Attendee
“With AI, you can do it five times better. You can always do things that you don't think you can actually do before.”
