Build an App with AI: stage 1

About this course

Participants develop an app from their own idea rather than following a fixed tutorial. The course introduces HTML, CSS and JavaScript for web development, followed by an introduction to Python for web apps. Learners use an AI agent to write, debug and explain code, while working in an online developer environment that requires no installation. Teaching combines lectures, in-class exercises and homework, covering project planning, development, GitHub and deployment before participants present their app.
