CG Pro Workshop

From Vibe Coding to Agentic Development

You can generate something that works once. This workshop is about understanding it well enough to fix it, improve it, and build on top of it.

By the end, you will have built a working application and learned a process you can use to build the next one.

Why This Matters

Most AI demos stop right before things break.

“Vibe coding” usually means asking an AI to build an app and hoping for the best. That can feel exciting right up until something breaks. Then most people realize they do not actually know what they are looking at.

The Shift
Start with the mental model. Understand how the pieces fit together. Then learn a process for directing AI agents to build real software with more clarity, structure, and control.
Build the same app twice: once wrong, once right.
 
Live instructor + TA support throughout the workshop and between sessions.
Build It Twice

One app. Two builds. Two completely different outcomes.

This workshop is built around contrast. First, you will experience what happens when an app is vibe-coded into existence. Then you will rebuild the same project with structure, clarity, and a process you can actually use again.

First Pass
Wrong
Confusing. Fragile. Hard to fix.
You will see what happens when AI builds an app with tangled logic, hardcoded choices, weak structure, and no clear mental model underneath it.
• unclear separation between frontend, backend, and API
• changes break other things unexpectedly
• debugging feels random
• you do not know where to look when something fails
Second Pass
Right
Structured. Clear. Fixable.
Then you rebuild the same project with a real process: understand the parts, define responsibilities, plan implementation, validate decisions, and build in steps that make sense.
• each piece has a clear role
• changes happen with less risk
• debugging becomes more direct
• you know how to describe problems and direct fixes
Why this format works
Students do not just see the difference. They understand it.
By the end, the point is not just that one version looks better. It is that one version gives you a way to think, troubleshoot, and build with far more confidence.

The Process

Learn the loop once. Apply it everywhere.

Whether you are fixing a bug, adding a feature, or building a full product, the process stays the same. This is what lets you fix things when they break.

1
Identify
Define what you want clearly
2
Discover
Find where it fits
3
Plan
Break into steps
4
Validate
Check before building
5
Implement
Build in steps
6
Test
Refine and repeat
What’s Included

14 hours of live instruction.

This is a supported, hands-on workshop built around actually making something. You will learn live, build alongside the cohort, get help when things break, and leave with both a working application and a process you can use again.

Live Training
14 Hours Live
Two intensive workshop days, a live midweek lab, and a two-hour graduation and project showcase.
Hands-On Support
Instructor + TA Help
Get help with setup, terminal errors, debugging, and the inevitable things that break while you are building.
Between Sessions
Support Throughout the Week
Use our community platform to ask questions, share progress, and get support while you continue building between classes.
Rewatch Anytime
6 Months of Recordings
Every live session is recorded so you can revisit the material, catch up on anything you miss, and return to the build later.
Build Something Real
A Working Application
You will build alongside the cohort rather than simply watching demos, and leave with an application you helped create.
Use It Again
A Repeatable Development Process
Learn a practical framework for planning, building, validating, debugging, and improving your next AI-assisted project.
Inaugural Cohort
$550
Live instruction, hands-on support, between-session help, six months of recordings, and a complete project-building experience.

Why Most AI Builds Break

The difference is not better prompts. It’s knowing what you’re looking at.

Generating something is easy. The real skill is knowing how the pieces fit together so you can fix, change, and keep building.

Vibe Coding
You’re guessing.
Everything is tangled.
Frontend, backend, and logic blur together.
Changes feel risky.
Fixing one thing can break something else.
Debugging becomes trial and error.
You are trying things without knowing where the real problem lives.
Agentic Development
You can direct the system.
Each piece has a role.
You understand what the frontend, backend, and API are responsible for.
Changes are controlled.
You can modify one part without destabilizing the rest.
Debugging becomes direct.
You know where to look and how to work through the problem.
The goal is not to generate more code.
It’s to understand what was built well enough to guide it.
Who It’s For

If this sounds like you, this workshop is for you.

This workshop is built for technical creatives who want more than one-off prompts. You do not need a coding background. You do need curiosity, patience, and a desire to understand what AI is actually building.

You’re experimenting with AI tools
But you want to understand what is happening under the hood, not just keep prompting and hoping.
You can see where software and creativity are colliding
And you want a clearer mental model for building workflows, not just using disconnected tools.
You’re tired of blind prompting
You want a repeatable process that helps you diagnose problems, guide fixes, and build with more confidence.
Support While You Build
Get stuck? You are not on your own.
Our instructors and TAs are live with you during the workshop to help troubleshoot terminal errors, environment setup, and the inevitable things that break while you build.

Between sessions, you will also have access to our community platform where you can ask questions, share progress, and get support throughout the week.

FAQ

A few common questions

You do not need to arrive as a developer. The workshop is designed to help you understand enough of the system to build with AI more confidently and intentionally.

?
Do I need coding experience?
No. You will not be expected to write code line by line. We will teach you enough about structure, architecture, and debugging to understand what the AI is building and direct it more effectively.
?
Is this about one specific tool?
No. The tools will keep changing, so the focus is on a process you can carry with you. We expect to use Claude Code as the primary coding environment during this workshop.
?
What kind of project will we build?
Everyone will build the same core application so we can learn together. We will first vibe-code it, then rebuild it with a more structured process so you can clearly see why the second version is easier to understand, fix, and extend.
?
Will I get the recordings?
Yes. All live workshop sessions will be recorded, and you will have access to the course recordings for 6 months so you can revisit the material, catch up on anything you miss, and refer back to the build afterward.
?
What happens if I get stuck?
You will have live instructor and TA support during the workshop, including help with setup, terminal errors, and troubleshooting. Between sessions, you can also ask questions and get support through our community platform.
?
What will I leave with?
A working application, a clearer understanding of how modern software fits together, and a repeatable process you can use to build, troubleshoot, and improve future projects with AI.
Ready to Build?

Go beyond generating code. Learn how to build with it.

Vibe coding can get you to a working prototype fast. This workshop is about going further: understanding what AI builds, fixing what breaks, improving your project, and turning it into something you can actually keep developing.
