What do I need to join?

A laptop, a stable internet connection, and two hours three evenings a week for four weeks.

Ship in a Day: Full-Stack Web Apps with React, Node & AI

// the gap

Tutorials taught you syntax. They never taught you to ship.

You've watched the videos. You've copied the code. And yet, when it's time to build your own thing, you freeze. Sound familiar?

[ tutorial_hell ]

Endless courses, zero output

Months of learning and you still don't have a single deployed app to show for it.

[ too_slow ]

Building feels painfully slow

While AI-native builders ship in days, you're still stuck on boilerplate and config.

[ overwhelmed ]

Front-end? Back-end? Both?

The stack feels like an ocean. You don't know what actually matters to get something live.

[ no_proof ]

Nothing real to show clients

No portfolio, no shipped product, no proof you can deliver. So the work doesn't come.

The market no longer pays for people who only study code. It pays for people who understand enough to ship working products with AI — fast, and for less. That's a skill you can learn in weeks, not years.

// what changes for you

By the end, you don't just understand code. You deliver.

This isn't theory. Every session moves you closer to a real, deployed, portfolio-ready application.

OUTCOME / 01

Build full-stack, solo

Front-end in React, back-end in Node, data in PostgreSQL with Prisma — the complete picture, in your own hands.

OUTCOME / 02

Move at AI speed

Use AI as a pair programmer to design, write, debug and ship in a fraction of the time.

OUTCOME / 03

Deploy to the real world

Take an app from your laptop to a live URL anyone can use. No more localhost-only projects.

OUTCOME / 04

Deliver cheaply & profitably

Learn the lean workflow that lets you charge clients well while keeping your costs near zero.

// the 4-week build path

From first line of code to a deployed product.

12 live sessions, structured as a single build journey. Click on any week to see what's inside.

WK 01

Foundations & your first React UI

Mon · Wed · Fri ▾

How the modern web works — and how AI fits into your workflow from day one
JavaScript essentials you actually need (no filler)
React fundamentals: components, props, state, and hooks
Styling with Tailwind CSS: building a clean, responsive interface fast

→ You ship: a working React interface, deployed to a live URL.

WK 02

The back-end: Node, Express & APIs

Mon · Wed · Fri ▾

Node.js & Express from zero — servers, routes, middleware
Designing and building a REST API
PostgreSQL with Prisma: modelling your data and storing it safely
Authentication basics: logging users in safely

→ You ship: a working API your front-end can talk to.

WK 03

Full-stack + AI: build the real thing, fast

Mon · Wed · Fri ▾

Wiring front-end and back-end into one full-stack app
AI pair-programming: prompting, scaffolding, and debugging at speed
Live build: take an idea to a functional product in one session
Reviewing, refactoring and trusting AI-generated code

→ You ship: a complete full-stack app, built live with AI.

WK 04

Deploy, polish & sell your skill

Mon · Wed · Fri ▾

Production deployment: domains, hosting, going live properly
Cost-effective delivery: the lean stack that keeps your overhead near zero
Turning your build into a portfolio piece and client offer
Capstone: present your shipped project to the cohort

→ You finish: a live, polished, portfolio-ready product — and a way to sell it.

// the unfair advantage

AI doesn't replace understanding. It multiplies it.

This is the core of our approach: learn enough real code to direct AI well — to prompt it, catch its mistakes and trust what it writes — then let it move you at a speed that used to be impossible. Fundamentals first, AI on top. That blend is the whole method.

solid coding fundamentals + AI-assisted building + live deployment = ship in a day

[01]

Scaffold in seconds — and read it

Generate components, routes and boilerplate instantly. Because you know the fundamentals, you understand every line instead of blindly pasting.

[02]

Debug without the despair

Turn cryptic errors into clear fixes by working alongside AI, not against it.

[03]

Build features you'd normally avoid

Auth, payments, integrations — things that once took weeks, done in a session.

[04]

Ship cheap, charge well

Less time per build means lower cost and higher margin on every project you deliver.

build.session

// week 3 — live with AI

const idea = "a booking app";

const app = await ai.build(idea);

// front-end ✓ back-end ✓ db ✓

await app.deploy()

→ shipped in one evening

// who's teaching

Learn from someone who ships — not just teaches.

Full-stack developer & AI-native builder

I'm a full-stack developer who builds and ships real products on a React, Node.js and TypeScript stack — backed by PostgreSQL and deployed to production. Among other powerful applications, I built EduMart CBT (edumartcbt.com), a live exam-prep platform with full Paystack payment integration, and I've delivered client-facing edtech platforms end to end: architecture, backend, payments, deployment and the unglamorous DevOps that keeps it all running.

I don't just teach this from slides — I'm in the trenches with it. When a payment flow has a security gap, I'm the one writing the verification server and getting it live. That's exactly what you'll learn here: not theory, but the real, ship-it skill of taking an idea to a deployed app — now multiplied by AI. This cohort is the shortcut I wish I'd had.

FOUNDING COHORT

You're early — and that's the advantage.

This is our very first live cohort. That means the smallest class, the most personal attention, founding-member pricing, and direct access to the instructor. In return, we'd love your honest feedback and a testimonial if we earn it. Every future cohort will be bigger and cost more — this is the best seat you'll ever get.

// the right fit

Is this cohort for you?

✓ This is for you if…

You want to build and launch real web apps, not just collect certificates
You're a beginner or self-taught dev who keeps getting stuck before the finish line
You want to use AI to work faster and deliver more
You're a founder or freelancer who wants to ship your own ideas affordably
You can commit 6 focused hours a week for 4 weeks

✕ This isn't for you if…

You want a passive, watch-at-your-own-pace video dump
You're looking for deep computer-science theory over shipping
You're not willing to write code and practice between sessions
You believe using AI to build is somehow "not real" development

// secure your seat

One cohort. One simple price.

No tiers, no upsells, nothing to figure out. Everything is included — pay once and you're in.

Attend the first week live and if you don't feel this is the fastest path to actually shipping real apps, email us within 7 days for a full refund. The risk is on us — your job is just to show up and build.

// before you ask

Questions, answered.

Do I need prior coding experience?+

No experience required at all. If you can use a computer and you're willing to practice between sessions, then you should be fine. We start from fundamentals and build up quickly — the AI workflow actually flattens the learning curve.

Will I actually learn to code, or just rely on AI?+

You will learn to code — that comes first. We teach JavaScript, React, Tailwind, Node.js and PostgreSQL fundamentals before leaning on AI, because a real understanding of code is exactly what lets you direct AI well, spot its mistakes, and build things that genuinely work. AI then multiplies that skill so you ship fast at the speed of thought. It's a tool you command, not a crutch you hide behind.

What if I miss a live session?+

Every session is recorded and shared the same week. You keep lifetime access to all recordings, code and materials, so you can catch up or rewatch anytime.

What do I need to take part?+

A laptop, a stable internet connection, and two hours on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings (7–9pm WAT) for four weeks. We'll guide you through installing everything else for free.

Will I actually build something real?+

Yes — that's the entire point. You will finish the cohort with a deployed, working full-stack application live on the internet and ready for your portfolio.

Is "building with AI" really a valuable skill?+

Yes! and it's quickly becoming the baseline. Teams and clients increasingly expect developers who deliver fast and affordably. Learning to build fluently with AI is one of the highest-leverage skills you can pick up right now.

How do I pay?+

One simple price — ₦200, everything included. Pay by card or bank transfer through our secure Paystack checkout, or pay the equivalent in USDT. Enter your name and email at the pricing section above and you'll be guided through it.
