Describe it. Build it. Ship it.Vibe coding means building software by describing what you want in plain English and letting an AI write the code. Collins Dictionary named it the Word of the Year for 2025, because millions of people who had never written a line of code started building apps this way.But getting an AI to produce code is easy. Getting code that actually works, keeps working, protects your data, and does what you meant is a skill. Vibe Coding for Beginners teaches that skill, step by step, using Claude Code.Everything in this book is real. You will build seven apps, and every prompt and reply in those chapters comes from a real Claude Code session, including the moments when the AI made a mistake, admitted it hadn't tested something, or slipped past a safety rule. Every app was independently tested, and every code listing is printed from the tested files.You will build:A tip calculator for your phoneA to-do app with due dates that remembers your tasksA command-line expense tracker in Python, with automated testsA full-stack habit tracker with a database, ready to deploy onlineStudy Buddy, an AI-powered app that turns your notes into flashcardsSip, a water tracker app for iPhone and Android, prepared for Google Play and the App StoreQuickBite, a production-quality food delivery app in the style of Swiggy and Zomato, with Firebase and Supabase backends, Razorpay and Stripe payments, and hosting on FirebaseInside, you will learn how to:Understand how software works, just enough to direct an AI with confidenceInstall Claude Code and have your first conversationWrite prompts and specs that turn vague ideas into working appsChoose the right Claude model and effort level for accurate code, based on a real, measured experimentDesign apps that are clear, touch-friendly, and accessible to everyoneUse plan mode, checkpoints, and Git so you can always undo mistakesDebug like a pro, including a real time zone bug traced from a user's complaint to a tested fixWrite tests, and make the AI prove its workBuild an app that calls the Claude API, with structured output and safe API keysPut your apps online with persistent storage and automatic testsBuild Android and iOS apps from one codebase, and ship them through testing, review, and release on Google Play and the App StoreBuild production apps end to end: design systems, security rules tested as an attacker, server-side pricing, verified payment signatures, and a launch checklistRun the software development lifecycle like a pro: specs, branches, semantic versions, changelogs, and tagged releasesTeach Claude your project with CLAUDE.md, and build skills, subagents, and hooksConnect a real web browser and other tools with MCPAutomate with headless mode and GitHub ActionsAvoid the security mistakes that sink vibe-coded apps: leaked keys, injection, and prompt injectionYou also get a best practices checklist, a 40-prompt library, a troubleshooting guide, a Claude Code cheat sheet, and a glossary. No programming experience required.Written by an automation and AI professional with more than 15 years of experience building in-house tools for automotive product development and validation, where software is only as good as the testing behind it.This book is independent and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Anthropic or any other company whose products it discusses.
