Vibe Coding, AI-Assisted Coding, and Agentic Development Compared

Learn when to use vibe coding, AI-assisted coding, and agentic development—and how to evaluate the results rather than trusting generated code. This English-language, video-free course progresses from foundational coding literacy to supervised agent workflows. Written explanations, annotated examples, browser-based JavaScript exercises, and practical workspace activities make the differences visible through working software.

You will build three small task-management features using different development approaches, then compare their correctness, effort, maintainability, and risk. Along the way, you will practice writing acceptance criteria, reviewing generated changes, testing behavior, controlling agent permissions, and documenting failures. Beginners receive starter files and reference implementations; experienced developers can take optional stretch challenges within the same assessed tasks.

The course is evidence-based: module quizzes check understanding, mini-project checkpoints require reproducible artifacts, and a final capstone requires a working application, tests, development records, and a written skill defense. Completion requires passing both knowledge and practical assessments; AI-generated output alone is not proof of competence. Core learning time is approximately 535 minutes, excluding optional extensions, installation delays, and assessment retries. No video tutorials or video submissions are required.
