Overview
Course Description
This course provides a practical guide to the 'Vibe Coding' methodology, enabling developers to shift their operational focus from manual syntax authoring to AI-directed logic management on Google Cloud. Participants will learn to orchestrate the full Gemini ecosystem—leveraging Gemini Code Assist for high-velocity feature development and the Gemini CLI Agent for complex, multi-file system automation.
The course bridges the gap between rapid prototyping and professional engineering. Learners will master intent-based prompting strategies, 'agentic' workflows for infrastructure-as-code, and the essential 'human-in-the-loop' validation protocols required to secure and audit AI-generated software. This approach aims to drastically reduce implementation time while maintaining strict standards for security and code quality.
- This course does not cover machine learning model architectures, model training/fine-tuning (Vertex AI), or introductory programming syntax. It assumes the learner is a developer looking to augment their existing workflow with AI tools.
Skills Gained
- Shift Mindset: Transition from manual syntax writing to high-level "Vibe Coding" (prompting for outcomes rather than typing logic).
- Micro-Workflow: Generate, refine, and test code within the IDE using Gemini Code Assist.
- Macro-Workflow: Execute complex, multi-file system tasks using natural language instructions via the Gemini CLI Agent.
- Governance: Validate and secure AI-generated code using established professional standards (The "Director" role).
Who Can Benefit
- Software Engineer: Accelerate the "idea-to-code" cycle; generate functions and unit tests instantly.
- DevOps / SRE: Automate system tasks; leverage the CLI Agent for multi-file refactoring and infrastructure generation.
- Technical Lead: Implement "Vibe Coding" workflows while enforcing strict validation and security guardrails.
Prerequisites
- Basic familiarity with an IDE
- Terminal commands
- Helpful to be familiar with: Basic Web Development

Reviews
Easy to use and exactly what I was looking for. Value for money was exceptional.
Good Course. We covered a lot of material in a short amount of time. This course had useful labs that built upon each other.
great class and packed with material, would have lived to spread it more into many days but overall very informative.
They are very good and made sure we had all the appropriate materials for class.
Course was great and the instructor had an answer for anything that was asked during the course.
