Build Real Apps Without Writing Code
You have app ideas but hiring developers costs thousands and no-code platforms lock you in. This course teaches the technical literacy to direct AI and build anything you can describe.
What You'll Walk Away With
A Live Application
You'll build and deploy a fully working web app during the course, on the real internet with a real URL.
Technical Literacy
Understand how databases, APIs, hosting, and authentication actually work — enough to make smart decisions.
AI Fluency
Learn to communicate with AI coding tools effectively, describe what you want, and iterate until it's right.
Independence
Build unlimited apps after the course. No platform lock-in. You own your code, your data, everything.
Who This Is For
Founders and entrepreneurs with app ideas who are tired of waiting on developers
Small business owners who need custom internal tools (CRMs, booking systems, dashboards)
Marketing and operations professionals who want to build their own tools
Career changers and the curious who want to understand technology without a full bootcamp
What This Is Not
Setting honest expectations upfront.
A coding course — you won't memorise syntax or study programming languages
A no-code platform tutorial — you'll work with real code, written by AI, that you fully own
A magic wand — software has limitations, and some features take iteration to get right
An unlimited build service — during the 30-day support phase, I provide guidance and troubleshooting, not a promise that everything works perfectly first time
Programme Structure
Setup & Core Build
Get your development environment configured and working. Build the core structure of your app — pages, navigation, user authentication, and your first database tables.
Deep Concepts
Understand how software really works. Databases and data modelling. APIs and how apps talk to each other. Email integration. AI prompting mastery and iteration.
Production Deployment
Take your app live. Deploy to real hosting infrastructure, connect a domain name, configure SSL, and test everything end-to-end.
Independent Build
Build your own project from scratch. Book support calls when you're stuck, share progress for feedback, and deploy your creation.

Free
A freelance developer charges £2,000–£10,000 for a single app. This course gives you the ability to build unlimited apps yourself. These are direct payments to each provider and subject to their pricing — not charged by Zero to Builder.
After the Course
You'll be able to start new projects from scratch, add features and fix issues independently, understand enough about software to evaluate technical decisions and hire developers if needed, and keep building with AI as your developer. The skills transfer to any AI coding tool.
