Vibe Coding Workshop.

Build your own tool in a single day. Like the Bietenradar, which went from idea to national media in a few days.

This workshop is for anyone curious about programming with AI. You describe what you want, the computer builds along and you steer. By the end of the day you walk out with something that actually works, plus a way of working that lets you keep building tools yourself. From 14:00 a developer checks that everything is built safely, and at 15:00 everyone shows what they built.

For whom

For anyone who wants to build something themselves.

You don't have to be a programmer. Enthusiasm and an idea are enough. We take care of the rest.

You want to build yourself

You have an idea for a tool and want to finally see it work. Today that happens, with guidance.

Never programmed before

No problem. We start from scratch and build together. By the end you have your first working tool and understand how it works.

Bietenradar.nl hit national media within a day.

Using exactly the way of working you learn on this day. From idea to something the whole country talks about.

Your host

Maarten guides you all day.

I don't believe in hours of theory up front. You learn to build by building. I keep you going all day, help you over the hurdles and make sure you end up with something that works. The human stays in control, AI does the heavy lifting.

Programme

One day, from blank screen to working tool.

  1. 10:00
    Walk-in & kick-off

    Coffee, introductions and we decide what you'll build today. You work on your own laptop with your own Claude account.

  2. 10:45
    Your first working version

    Describe what you want and watch the first version run. This is where it clicks: so this is vibe coding.

  3. 12:15
    Lunch

    A proper lunch break and time to exchange ideas.

  4. 13:00
    Refine & extend

    Your tool does more and more. You learn how to steer, correct and add features without getting stuck.

  5. 14:00
    Safety check & go live

    Developer René joins and checks with you that everything is built safely. Then you put your tool live, so you can actually use and share it.

  6. 15:00
    Show & tell

    Everyone demos what they built today. We wrap up at 16:00.

What you take home

By the end of the day, this is what you have.

1
A working tool

Something you built yourself and can use that same evening. No demo, no dummy.

2
A reusable way of working

The method you use at home to build the next tool, on your own and without us.

3
A safe foundation

A developer looked along, so you go live without the classic beginner mistakes.

4
The confidence

You now know you can do it. The barrier to building something is gone for good.

Practical

Good to know.

You go home with something that works and with a way of working you keep applying. The next tool you build on your own.

Frequently asked questions

Just this.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. This workshop is made for people without programming experience. You learn to build by describing what you want in plain language. It does help if you already have some experience with Claude.

What should I bring?

A laptop, an idea for something you want to make and at least a Claude Pro subscription. Claude Max 5x is better, so you don't hit your limit while building. You work all day on your own laptop with your own account.

Will I really go home with something that works?

Yes, that's the promise. And if not, you get your money back. By the end of the day you have a tool you built yourself.

What does the safety check involve?

From 14:00 an experienced developer checks with you that your tool is built safely, so you can go live without worries.

And after the workshop?

You go home with a way of working you keep applying. The next tool you build on your own.

Nothing built or learned? Money back.

We make this promise because we can keep it. If you walk out at the end of the day without a working tool and without having learned anything, you get your registration fee back. It's that simple.
