What you'll learn
Follow best practices for using Cursor AI in real-world development
Build and deploy full-stack apps with modern technologies
Leverage AI to accelerate development workflows
Implement authentication, authorization, and billing with Clerk
Design clean, accessible, and responsive UIs with Shadcn UI & Tailwind CSS
Model and manage relational data using Drizzle ORM and Neon PostgreSQL

Requirements
Knowledge of Next JS would be greatly beneficial however you can still follow along with minimal Next JS knowledge

Description
Build production-grade full-stack apps faster than ever by combining the power of Cursor AI with the best modern web tools: Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Shadcn UI, Drizzle ORM, Clerk, and Neon PostgreSQL.In this project-based course you'll build FlashyCardy, a sleek flashcards app where users can sign up, create decks and cards, and upgrade to a Pro plan with Stripe and Clerk billing. You'll implement full authentication, role-based access, and a SaaS-style subscription system, all while letting Cursor AI do 100% of the coding. AKA Vibe Coding!That's right: the entire app is built by prompting Cursor. No manual coding required. You'll see how to guide Cursor from a blank repo to a deployed, production-ready app using Agent Mode, structured prompting, and Cursor Rules to steer the AI and get high-quality, secure, and reliable code output.You'll also use MCP (Model Context Protocol) to seamlessly connect to your Neon PostgreSQL database and generate seed data, schemas, and queries via Drizzle ORM, all through AI.Learn how to:Build a full-stack SaaS app from scratch using only Cursor promptsUse Agent Mode and Cursor Rules to drive consistent, secure, and accurate developmentConnect to Neon and populate relational data via MCP + DrizzleImplement auth, access control, and Stripe billing with ClerkBuild beautiful, accessible UIs using Shadcn UI + Tailwind CSSDeploy with Vercel using production-ready environment configsBy the end you'll have a fully functional app, "FlashyCardy", and the practical workflow to build real apps with AI. This isn't just about watching code get generated; it's about learning how to think, prompt, and steer AI like a pro developer.If you're ready to stop hand-typing boilerplate and start building with AI the smart way, this is the course for you.
