Free AI Vibe Coding Tutorials for Beginners
This free course is for complete beginners who want to create useful projects with AI, even if they have never written code before. You will learn how to describe an idea clearly, work with Codex in small stages, check what it creates and improve the result through testing and follow-up prompts.
During the course, you will plan and build a Match-Three game, explore Premier League transfer data in a web app, turn business data into a PowerPoint and PDF, create a reusable Codex plugin and connect Codex to Blender through an MCP server.
You need a Windows computer, an internet connection and time to experiment. The setup lesson explains how to install Codex and create your first webpage, so no previous programming knowledge is required. By the end, you should be more confident organising a project, working with files and data, testing AI-generated results and deciding when the AI needs clearer instructions.
