Is the future of coding less about syntax and more about the "vibe"? This course explores the emerging frontier of vibecoding—using natural language, intent, and LLMs to build and iterate on software. Specifically, we will use the Open edX platform as our sandbox to test how flow-based, AI-augmented development can accelerate the creation of educational tools and platform extensions.

What You Will Learn

• The Vibecoding Philosophy: Understanding the shift from manual coding to "intent-based" development.

• Open edX Architecture: A primer on how Open edX is structured and where vibecoding can be most effective (XBlocks, themes, and API integrations).

• Prompt Engineering for Production: How to communicate complex technical requirements to AI models to generate functional Open edX components.

• Rapid Prototyping: Moving from a "vibe" or a concept to a deployed feature in record time.

• Testing & Validation: Techniques for debugging AI-generated code within the Open edX ecosystem.
