Build something. Pick a small app you would use yourself, choose a tool that fits your background (Lovable or Bolt.new if you have never coded, Cursor or Claude Code if you have), write a one-page spec and build it one step at a time. Our how to start vibe coding guide walks through all eight steps; add a free course if you prefer structure.
Getting a first app working is easy and takes a weekend. The harder parts are keeping a growing project organised, debugging when the AI gets stuck, and securing apps that hold other people's data, which is why these guides cover prompts, workflow rules and security.
