Learn all essential concepts and tools you need before vibe coding or learning your first programming language.

What you'll learn
The different types of programs you can build (websites, GUIs, automation, etc.)
How to use the terminal to navigate files and run commands
Core tools every developer uses: editors, IDEs, Git, and databases
Key data formats: CSV, JSON, and XML, and when to use them
How to break down problems like a programmer
Core programming concepts: variables, data types, loops, and functions
What web servers, APIs, and deployment really mean
The solid foundation you need to start coding with confidence

Requirements
No prior programming or technical experience is required.
Curiosity and a willingness to learn how programming works behind the scenes.

Description
If you’ve jumped straight into vibe coding tools like Cursor, Lovable, Replit, Windsurf, or Bolt but keep getting stuck — it’s not you, it’s the missing step you skipped. This course gives you that step.If you’re a future programmer, you face the same problem: you start a coding course and feel lost in jargon, constantly pausing videos to Google terms, wondering if you’ve skipped some secret “beginner’s handbook.”This course is that handbook.This course fixes that. It’s not a coding course — it’s a pre-coding foundation designed for:Vibe coders who want to use AI and creative coding tools more effectively.Future programmers who want to start coding without hitting confusing gaps.What You’ll LearnThe different types of programs you can create — from web apps and automation to creative AI-assisted projects.How to navigate the terminal/command line like a pro.The difference between code editors and IDEs, and how to choose the right one for your workflow.How files like CSV, JSON, and XML fit into real-world coding and AI projects.The basics of relational and NoSQL databases.How Git and GitHub help track your work and collaborate with others.The core concepts of programming (variables, data types, loops, functions) from a conceptual perspective.How to break down problems and plan solutions logically — before you code.What web servers, APIs, and deployment mean in both programming and vibe coding contexts.How to pick your first programming language and start building a portfolio or creative project library.Who This Course Is ForVibe coders who want to make the most of AI-assisted coding tools.Aspiring programmers who want a solid start before diving into code.Anyone who has started coding but feels confused by unfamiliar terms and workflows.By the end, you’ll understand the landscape of programming and creative coding, know how real developers work, and feel fully prepared to start your first coding language or AI-assisted project.

Who this course is for:
Absolute beginners, Non-technical professionals
