# AI Coding Tools & App Development Course Online

From no coding experience to a deployed, working web application.

Canonical URL: <https://vdci.edu/courses/ai-coding-tools-app-development>

## Overview

AI Coding Tools & App Development teaches you to build and ship working web applications using agentic AI coding tools, starting from no programming experience. The emphasis is on directing the tool well: setting context, planning before acting, reviewing what was written, and recovering when something goes wrong. Alongside that you pick up the fundamentals any developer needs, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, how front end and back end fit together, and version control with Git and GitHub.

The course progresses through a sequence of projects that build on each other. You scaffold a first project, produce a business landing page, then build a full-stack application with a database and user authentication, extend it with external APIs, improve its design and accessibility, harden its security, and deploy it to a public URL. You also work with MCP integrations, custom project briefs, and sub-agent orchestration, finishing with a repeatable stack you can reuse on your own projects.
