Vibe Code Course with Claude Code and Codex

Vibe Code: Zero to Launch with Claude Code & Codex

AI coding assistants have changed the game. The gap between "idea" and "shipped product" has never been smaller — but most people are barely scratching the surface of what these tools can do.

Whether you're a founder who knows what an API is but has never built one, or an engineer leveling up your workflow — this course meets you where you are. You'll learn to use Codex and Claude Code as true agentic pair programmers: AI that doesn't just autocomplete, but architects, debugs, and ships alongside you.

This is a 4-week hands-on course where you'll learn to build, deploy, and ship a real product using OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. You'll learn how to professionally vibe code — configuring project intelligence files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md), managing code with Git, building full-stack apps, and deploying to production. The same workflows used by engineering teams at top companies.

Each week builds on the last. By Week 4, you deploy your product live and demo it to the group.

Who This Is For

Founders, PMs, and operators who understand concepts like APIs and databases and are ready to buildTechnical professionals who want to go from "I've used ChatGPT" to professional agentic pair programmingEngineers who want to ship faster with AI-assisted developmentAnyone with a basic understanding of how software works who wants to actually build it

Schedule

🔸 Week 1: Setup, Tools & Your First App (May 9)
Get your environment set up, learn Git, go deep on Codex and Claude Code, and deploy your first app to a live URL — all in one afternoon.

🔸 Week 2: Frontend & Authentication (May 16)
Build real interfaces using AI, add user login, and start building the core of your product.

🔸 Week 3: Database, APIs & Payments (May 23)
Connect a database, build features end-to-end, and integrate Stripe for payments.

🔸 Week 4: Launch Day (May 30)
Deploy to production. Polish. Demo it live. Walk out with a shipped product and the skills to build your next one.

Office Hours

Stuck between sessions? We've got you. Wednesday office hours from 6–7 PM ET every week of the course — drop in, ask questions, get unblocked, and keep building.

Instructors

Michael Friedberg — Senior Software Engineer, Oracle

Senior Software Engineer with a passion for agentic AI systems, automation, and real-world product experimentation. He builds tools that bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and practical, everyday workflows. His work spans multi-agent system design, event-driven architectures, and conversational automation. Outside of his day job, he independently prototypes and ships side projects that explore how autonomous AI agents can solve genuine human problems — from networking to relationship management — at scale.
