Ship Your First App

An async, AI-led course where learners use an AI coding agent as their tutor and pair programmer to learn web development by building real apps with Wasp.

Start the course

Point any AI coding agent at the course entry point:

https://wasp-lang.github.io/ship-your-first-app/llms.txt

Or paste this prompt into your agent:

I'm starting the "Ship Your First App" course. Fetch the following URL and follow the instructions: https://wasp-lang.github.io/ship-your-first-app/llms.txt

If your agent can't fetch URLs, download the file and point it at the local copy:

curl -fsSL https://wasp-lang.github.io/ship-your-first-app/llms.txt -o llms.txt

Works with: Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Open Code, and any agent that can read files and run terminal commands.

Course structure

Document	Description
Setup	Environment setup and tool installation
Module 0	Setup & First Vibe — create your first app
Module 1 (coming soon)	Data & The Database
Module 2 (coming soon)	Making It Look Good
Module 3 (coming soon)	How It All Connects

How it works

1. The learner runs a setup script that installs Node.js, Wasp CLI, and verifies their environment
2. They create a new Wasp app and open their AI coding agent in the project folder
3. The agent fetches module instructions and acts as a tutor and pair programmer
4. The learner directs what to build in plain language; the agent handles the code
5. Progress is tracked via JSON files the agent writes to the project
