What is Vibecoding?

Vibecoding is a new paradigm of developing with AI, coined by Andrej Karpathy (former Tesla AI Director).

Traditional Coding:
You → Learn syntax → Write code → Debug → Software

Vibecoding:
You → Express intent → AI writes code → Refine together → Software

The 3-Step Cycle

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                                         │
│   1. Express Intent  →  2. Check Result  →  3. Refine  │
│         ↑                                      │       │
│         └──────────────────────────────────────┘       │
│                                                         │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Express Intent: Tell Claude what you want in natural language
Check Result: See if it matches your expectations
Refine: Give feedback to improve

Repeat until perfect. No syntax memorization needed.

See Vibecoding in Action

Example: Making a Webpage

Traditional coding (hours of learning required):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>My Page</title>
    <style>
        body { font-family: sans-serif; }
        h1 { color: blue; }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Hello</h1>
</body>
</html>

Vibecoding (30 seconds):

You: Make a webpage with a blue heading that says 'Hello'
Claude: [creates the file instantly]
You: Make the heading bigger and center it
Claude: [updates the file]

The AI handles syntax. You focus on what you want, not how to code it.

Audience

Level	Description	Starting Point
Complete Beginner	Never coded before	Chapter 01
Beginner	Know basics, want AI tools	Chapter 06
Intermediate	Comfortable with code, want productivity	Chapter 17
Advanced	Want to master Claude Code	Chapter 21

No coding experience required for complete beginners. We start from scratch.

Learning Outcomes

After 30 Chapters, You Can Build:

Project Type	Examples
Websites	Portfolio, blog, landing page
Web Apps	Todo app, dashboard, e-commerce
Games	Snake, memory match, reaction games
CLI Tools	File organizer, data processor
Chatbots	Discord bot, Slack bot
Full-Stack Apps	Complete apps with database & auth
Automation	CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions
Web3 Dapps	Farcaster Frames, Base miniapps, Smart Contracts

Skills You'll Gain:

Effective prompting techniques
Code navigation and debugging
Git version control
Project architecture understanding
Team collaboration workflows
Advanced Claude Code features (Hooks, Skills, MCP)

Why Claude Code?

"There's Google Jules, Cursor, Windsurf... Why Claude Code?"

Criteria	Claude Code	Other Tools
Terminal Native	✅ CLI-based, works anywhere	Often IDE-dependent
Transparent Operation	✅ Shows every action explicitly	Sometimes black-box
Learning Value	✅ Learn principles as you go	Convenience can hide fundamentals
Extensibility	✅ Hooks, MCP, Skills, etc.	Varies by tool
Cost	✅ Pay for what you use (API)	Mostly subscription-based

💡 Future Plans: We plan to expand curricula for Cursor, Windsurf, Jules, and other tools.

Compatibility Note: Core concepts learned here (prompting, debugging, project structure) apply to ANY AI coding tool.

Learning Guide

How to Proceed

Do	Don't
✅ Start from your level, proceed in order	❌ Jump to the middle without prior knowledge
✅ Ask Claude directly, check the results	❌ Just read without executing
✅ Give feedback when results differ	❌ Give up if first result isn't perfect
✅ Ask Claude "why?" when stuck	❌ Ignore error messages

💡 Vibecoding Tip: You don't need to type code yourself! Describe what you want to Claude, check the result, and give feedback.

When You're Stuck

Ask Claude: "What is this?", "Why does this error happen?"
Check the Glossary: GLOSSARY.md
Ask the Community: Discord
Review previous chapter: Often the answer is there

Common Beginner Mistakes

Mistake	Solution
Vague prompts ("fix bug")	Be specific (file, error, context)
Expecting perfection first try	Iterate with feedback
Not reading error messages	Copy-paste to Claude
Skipping chapters	Each chapter builds on previous

Pro Tips

From the Claude Code team and experienced developers:

Essential Tips

Start in Plan mode - Shift+Tab twice. Let Claude think first.
Specify verification - "Run tests after changes"
Review AI code - Same standards as human code
Commit CLAUDE.md to Git - Update when Claude makes mistakes
Use multiple terminals - Parallel work for complex tasks

Claude Code vs Web Chat

Feature	Web Chat	Claude Code
File access	❌ Copy-paste	✅ Direct read/write
Command execution	❌ Manual	✅ Automatic
Project context	❌ Explain each time	✅ Understands structure
Continuous work	❌ Session-based	✅ Persistent

TL;DR: Web chat is a consultant. Claude Code is a pair programmer in your terminal.
