Module 2: Vibe Coding Best Practices

Welcome to Module 2. You've got the fundamentals. Now it's time to learn the workflow habits that separate projects that ship from projects that stall.

What Changed

In Module 1, you learned what's happening under the hood -- how the web works, what files do, how errors and APIs work, and how to save your progress with Git.

Module 2 is about the process. How do you actually work with AI to write code effectively? When should you trust its output and when should you push back? How do you keep a growing project from collapsing into chaos?

What You'll Learn

LessonTopicWhat It Unlocks
2.1Prompting for CodeGetting better output from your first prompt
2.2When to Accept vs Push BackSpotting problems before they snowball
2.3Project StructureKeeping your codebase organized as it grows
2.4The Debug LoopA repeatable process for fixing anything

Prerequisites

You should complete Module 1 first. The concepts there -- especially error messages, file structures, and how the web works -- are the foundation for everything in Module 2.

How to Take This Module

  1. Start with lesson 2.1 and work through in order
  2. Each lesson builds on the previous one
  3. Apply what you learn to a real project you're working on
  4. The best way to learn these habits is to practice them

Time Commitment

  • Total time: 1.5-2 hours
  • Per lesson: 20-30 minutes
  • Flexible: Stop and resume anytime
