Vibe Coding Advanced

Faculty name: Ian Yong Hoe Tan

Focus: In this module, Prof Ian focuses on moving beyond simple AI-generated prototypes to building more capable and connected applications. You will explore how APIs, connectors and external data sources enable AI-powered applications to interact with other systems and services. The module also examines how to design multi-step workflows that combine user inputs, AI processing and outputs while selecting appropriate platforms based on business needs, complexity and integration requirements.

Learning Outcomes
