Frequently Asked Questions
What is "vibe coding" exactly? ↓
Vibe coding is a modern approach to software development where you use plain-English descriptions and AI tools to build applications. Instead of writing syntax, you focus on the "vibe" and functionality, letting the AI handle the heavy lifting of the code. It is the bridge that allows anybody to become a creator. Learn more about vibe coding here.
How do I start building software with AI? ↓
The best way to start is by joining a live collaborative session like "ctrl + alt + create live." We show you exactly how to prompt AI models, which tools to use for free, and how to go from a blank page to a prototype in under two hours. You don't need a computer science degree—just a clear idea.
Is this workshop really free? ↓
Yes! Thanks to our community-focused sponsors like every.io, we are able to keep these collaborative sessions free for attendees. Our goal is to democratize software creation for everyone.
Where and how can I promote my product or service at your events? ↓
Our event series offers unique partnerships and sponsorship opportunities for brands looking to reach a high-intent audience of creators and entrepreneurs. Beyond standard branding, we offer creative ways to boost attendee retention and engagement, including gifting attendees or integrating your tool directly into our workshops. Contact us to discuss how we can spotlight your brand.
Can I get AI vibe coding training for my school, team, or business? ↓
Yes! You can bring our "ctrl + alt + create live" team in to run a dedicated workshop for your specific group. We use a proven formula for success to help teams, schools, and business organizations bridge the gap between AI theory and actual software creation. We can tailor the experience for your specific goals—whether it's workflow automation or creative exploration.
Can I join if I have zero coding experience? ↓
Absolutely. In fact, you are our target audience. We bridge the gap by bringing non-technical dreamers together with technical users who share a passion for vibe coding. You'll learn by watching and doing, not by memorizing code.
