Why This Guide
The Mission
Section titled “The Mission”This workshop exists to make AI-assisted coding accessible to everyone, regardless of technical background.
The Problem We Saw
Section titled “The Problem We Saw”Traditional coding tutorials assume you already know:
- How to use a terminal
- What Git and GitHub are
- How to install development tools
- Technical jargon and concepts
But what if you are completely new to coding? What if terms like “repository,” “CLI,” and “deployment” sound like a foreign language?
Most tutorials leave beginners behind.
Our Solution
Section titled “Our Solution”The AI Workshop takes a different approach:
Start with Success
Section titled “Start with Success”You build something real in the first 10 minutes. No theory, no setup - just immediate results that prove “I can do this!”
Plain Language
Section titled “Plain Language”We avoid technical jargon. When we must use a technical term, we define it first. Every explanation is written as if you are learning for the very first time.
Desktop Apps, Not Command Lines (if we can help it)
Section titled “Desktop Apps, Not Command Lines (if we can help it)”We use GitHub Desktop and Claude Code desktop app instead of forcing you to learn terminal commands. You click buttons, not type cryptic commands.
One Clear Path
Section titled “One Clear Path”No overwhelming options. No “you could also do it this way.” Just one clear, tested path from start to finish.
Real Projects
Section titled “Real Projects”You build actual websites you can share, not toy examples. Your portfolio site, your business landing page, your creative project.
Who This Is For
Section titled “Who This Is For”This workshop is designed for:
- Complete beginners who have never coded before
- Curious minds who want to see what AI can do
- Professionals exploring AI tools for work
- Students learning modern development workflows
- Creators who want to build without learning to code first
- Educators looking for beginner-friendly AI curriculum
What Makes This Different
Section titled “What Makes This Different”AI-First Approach
Section titled “AI-First Approach”We teach you to work with AI, not just learn coding syntax. This is how modern development works.
No Prerequisites
Section titled “No Prerequisites”Seriously. If you can use a web browser and download apps, you can do this workshop.
Free and Open
Section titled “Free and Open”This guide is free, open-source, and licensed for sharing. We believe knowledge should be accessible.
Built for Non-Technical Users
Section titled “Built for Non-Technical Users”Every decision - from using desktop apps to avoiding terminal commands - was made with beginners in mind.
The Vision
Section titled “The Vision”We believe the future of software development is collaboration between humans and AI. Today with AI assistance, anyone with an idea can and should be able to bring it to life.
This workshop is our contribution to that future.
Make apps personal and the internet wild again!
