Vibe Coding and AI-Assisted Software Development

Vibe Coding and AI-Assisted Software Development explores how modern developers use artificial intelligence to plan, write, review, test and improve software. The course examines the shift from traditional coding and simple autocomplete tools towards AI coding assistants, autonomous agents and agentic development workflows that can inspect projects, modify multiple files, run commands and help complete substantial development tasks.

Learners will discover how to communicate intent clearly, provide useful context, set boundaries and constraints, divide complex work into manageable tasks and verify AI-generated changes. The course also covers prompt and context engineering, repository awareness, debugging, testing, version control, security, code review and the strengths and limitations of current AI development tools.

Rather than treating vibe coding as blindly accepting whatever an AI produces, the course presents it as a professional software development approach in which human judgement remains essential. Learners will understand how AI changes the role of the developer, reducing some manual coding work while increasing the importance of problem definition, architecture, decision-making, verification and quality control.

By the end of the course, learners will have a strong theoretical understanding of AI-assisted software development, how modern coding agents fit into professional workflows, where they can fail, and which traditional programming and software engineering skills remain important for using them effectively.
