AI-Native Development with Claude Code, Cursor & Agentic Workflows
Vibe coding isn't about letting AI write your app while you watch. It's a disciplined workflow — scope the task, prompt precisely, review what comes back, test it, and redirect when the agent drifts. This course teaches developers to build full applications fast with Claude Code, Cursor and Copilot Workspace, without losing control of the codebase.
Distinguishing disciplined AI-native development from "just letting the AI write everything." Where vibe coding shines — prototypes, internal tools, greenfield features — and where it fails without engineering judgment in the loop.
Comparing agentic coding tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and GitHub Copilot Workspace. CLI-based agents versus IDE-integrated assistants, and picking the right tool for solo projects versus team codebases.
Writing prompts that produce maintainable, idiomatic code rather than brittle one-offs. Specifying constraints, examples, file structure and acceptance criteria up front instead of fixing problems after the fact.
Going from a one-paragraph idea to a working app skeleton in minutes. Generating data models, API routes and UI shells with AI agents, then layering in real functionality module by module.
Using CLAUDE.md and project rules files to give agents the right context — codebase structure, naming conventions, dependencies — so generated code actually fits your project instead of fighting it.
The core vibe-coding loop: prompt, generate, review, redirect. Spotting when an agent is heading down the wrong path early, and course-correcting with targeted, specific feedback rather than starting over.
Why you can't skip tests just because AI wrote the code. Generating test suites alongside features, and using tests as a steering mechanism that keeps the agent honest as the codebase grows.
Strategies for understanding, tracing and fixing AI-generated code when something breaks — including prompting the agent to explain its own output and isolate the failing piece.
Managing larger changes across many files, using sub-agents and skills for specialised tasks, and orchestrating multiple AI tools — code generation, review, testing — within a single workflow.
Refactoring vibe-coded prototypes into production-grade software: security review, performance checks and code-review standards. Capstone: take a prototype built earlier in the course through to a shippable, tested state.
No more typing every line by hand. You'll scaffold, generate and iterate on real applications using AI agents from day one — while learning exactly where to slow down and take control.
Every module is a working project. You'll prompt, review and redirect real agents on real codebases — and leave with reusable context files, prompt patterns and a portfolio project.
Available as a 5-day open course in Johannesburg, a 100% online cohort, or a 20-hour condensed workshop delivered at your offices anywhere in South Africa.

No — that's the failure mode this course teaches you to avoid. Vibe coding, done properly, is a disciplined workflow: you scope the task, write a precise prompt, review what the agent produces, test it, and redirect when it drifts. The course spends as much time on review, testing and debugging AI-generated code as it does on prompting.
No prior experience with AI coding tools is required. You do need basic familiarity with at least one programming language and comfort using a command line or terminal. We start from the fundamentals of agentic coding tools and build up to multi-file, multi-agent workflows.
Yes. A 20-hour condensed workshop is available for corporate teams, covering the core modules: Choosing Your Stack, Prompting for Code Generation, Context Engineering, and Iterative Steering & Review Loops. It runs as a 2.5-day intensive, delivered onsite at your offices anywhere in South Africa. This is priced per group rather than per delegate — contact us for a quote based on your team size and location.
Yes. Code College is a B-BBEE Level 4 contributor and training spend qualifies as skills development under the B-BBEE scorecard. The course fee also counts toward your SDL (Skills Development Levy) spend for SETA reporting purposes.
You'll go from a one-paragraph idea to a working, tested application using Claude Code, Cursor and Copilot Workspace — practicing project scaffolding, context files, review loops and debugging along the way. The capstone project takes a vibe-coded prototype through refactoring, security review and test coverage to a production-ready state.
Yes. Corporate onsite delivery is available anywhere in South Africa. Contact us to discuss scheduling, group rates, and customising the content to your team's tech stack and preferred AI tools.
