Now that you know what vibe coding is, it's time to choose your tools. This module gives you a clear map of the AI coding landscape, so you can pick a setup that fits the kind of thing you want to build and how much control you want over the code.
It begins with AI code editors, which put an assistant right next to your files and let it read, explain, and change your project. It then covers app builders that turn a prompt into a running app in the browser, and terminal agents that work directly in your project folder and carry out multi-step tasks. It finishes with setup: installing a tool, creating your first project, and getting a working environment you can build on for the rest of the course.
Watch the lessons in order, then continue on to Prompting for Code.
