Learning About Personal and Professional Coding with AI ("Vibe Coding") from Me and from Nicole Hennig

On Tuesday, March 24th, I am speaking at the free event below, giving a fast half-hour demonstration called "Vibe Coding: Step by Step Instructions to Create Your Own Software App." I'll be using Manus.im to create a fully customized computer app in real time — if you've heard me talk about Manus, you know that I think it is crazy good and feels like magic. I've built over 20 HIGHLY productive apps for myself and my work, and I encourage you to join this event to learn more. (This Manus link gives you and me both some free credits if you decide you want to experiment early.)

Register (free) for the event HERE.

Further down on this page, you'll see our upcoming Library 2.0 / Learning Revolution webinar on "Vibe Coding for Beginners: Create Interactive Visuals, Mini Apps, and Learning Tools with AI" with Nicole Hennig. Nicole's webinars are professional masterclasses that offer excellent content and context, and this one is not to be missed.

Vibe Coding for Beginners:
Create Interactive Visuals, Mini Apps, and Learning Tools with AI
A Library 2.0 / Learning Revolution Masterclass with Nicole Hennig

OVERVIEW: 

This session is designed for information professionals who want to create dynamic digital experiences—without needing a coding background.

Learn how to turn library statistics and information literacy content into beautiful, accessible interactives. We’ll demonstrate how these can be created using natural-language prompts in a few beginner-friendly “vibe-coding” tools. We’ll walk through how these tools work, what they’re good at (and not so good at), and how to iterate from a rough draft to something you can actually use.

You’ll see examples of how to create:

• Engaging educational quizzes and activities 
• Mini-sites or simple web pages for visualizing library data
• Interactive graphics to help explain complex topics 

Demos may include a mix of browser-based, natural-language “build it for me” tools and AI-assisted design environments. You’ll leave with concrete examples and ideas you can adapt for your own library context.

LEARNING AGENDA:

• What we mean by “vibe coding” (and the approach we’ll use)
• Practical limitations to understand up front
• Examples of vibe-coded quizzes and learning games (and how they were made)
• Examples of visual data displays (and how they were made)
• Ways to share interactives: hosted on the sites where they were created, or embedded in your website or libguides.
• Tool categories and recommendations
• Capabilities of free vs. paid accounts
• Recommended resources for learning more

This 75-minute online webinar is part of our AI Series. Recording and slides will be shared with all registrants.
