Course Overview
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.
Who should attend
- 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
Course Objectives
- 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).
