Designed for careful beginner progress
Every lesson explains what you are building, why it matters, what to prepare, the complete Build Prompt, what AI should return, how to save the files and how to test the completed capability.
The workbook also includes checkpoints, common beginner mistakes, behind-the-scenes explanations, software-design questions and a clear summary of what you learned.
Security is part of the project
You will not build a demonstration that exposes every user's records. The workbook teaches authenticated ownership checks, Supabase Row Level Security and two-account privacy testing so you can verify that one user cannot access another user's information.
Learner support included
- A visual glossary of recurring terms
- Backup instructions before replacing complete files
- A troubleshooting checklist
- A reusable error log
- Code-reading questions after major capabilities
- Final testing and live deployment guidance

Work at your own pace
The estimated time is a guide, not a deadline. Complete the lessons in order, test every important capability and stop to correct problems before moving forward.
