Vibe Coding Fundamentals

Faculty name: Ian Yong Hoe Tan

Focus: Vibe Coding is a no-code or low-code approach to building software. Instead of writing code yourself, you describe what you want in plain language and AI helps create the application.
In this module, Prof Ian will help you understand the fundamentals of vibe coding, explore the tools that make it possible, and see how applications and dashboards can be built through practical demonstrations. You will also examine where AI adds the most value, understand its limitations, and learn how to use vibe coding responsibly and effectively in real-world scenarios.
