Zero to Coder: Vibe Coding Workshop
This session is open to the public, however spaces are very limited. Registration includes a suggested contribution towards Jethro's time.
A workshop for those with little or no experience with code, which gets your set up and vibe coding in minutes. By the end, you'll be asking the right questions of AI tools so you can bootstrap anything from a simple site, to data analysis, to a complex web app.
The workshop will be led by Jethro Reeve. He started using AI to code in October 2023. He's now a full-time software developer at coefficient.ai and has built a variety of small tools for campaignlab.uk.
Workshop Overview
In this workshop, you'll get a practical introduction to what I've found to be the most useful AI coding tools.
I'll provide you with the scaffolding to build and host your first prototype, while avoiding the inevitable blind alleys these models can send you on. By the end of the session you'll be equipped to handle the warts to get started on your coding journey.
First, we'll build and host your own website so you can understand the basic workflow and limitations of the tools.
Then once you've got the hang of it, we'll use what you know to kickstart your own project.
There'll be plenty of opportunity to answer shared questions, like:
How far can you really get with AI?
How can I avoid expensive mistakes?
How does experience shape developers?
