Course Overview

Vibe Coding MVP Masterclass Overview

A beginner-oriented walkthrough of the four-hour loop from idea to shipped MVP.

A compact course on the full MVP loop around Claude Code: goal setting, environment prep, context separation, stack decisions, cost tradeoffs, and security checks.

Deliverable: a personal working loop and starter templates for designing, building, and verifying an MVP with AI.

What you will be able to do

  • Use PRDs and AGENTS files to give AI a stable working context.
  • Choose a pragmatic tech stack and cloud cost envelope for a small MVP.
  • Connect implementation, UI/UX polish, testing, and deployment into one iterative loop.
  • Reduce pre-launch security review into a compact working checklist.

MVP architecture and build flow

Use a restaurant-ordering MVP to explain a practical three-tier architecture and implementation flow.

You will learn
  • Where to split screen, API, and data layers
  • How small your implementation units should be when working with AI
Key artifacts
  • MVP architecture example

Verification, security, and launch

Turn a working MVP into a launchable one through verification and security checks.

You will learn
  • What to test first before shipping

FAQ

Is this course tied to one specific AI coding tool?

Claude Code is the starting point, but the real focus is documentation and verification loops. Most of the method transfers to other AI coding tools.

Should a beginner deploy an MVP right away?

Verification and guardrails come before launch. The course is about shipping fast without skipping the checks that matter.

Are the example assets a large project?

No. Beginners benefit more from small reusable templates and structure than from a giant codebase, so the assets focus on those.
