Building a REST API with AI — Full-Stack Vibe Coding

In the previous article, you built a CLI tool with AI. Now let us scale up. You are going to build a complete REST API — with a database, authentication, tests, and deployment — all driven by AI. The project: a Notes API that lets users create, read, update, and delete notes. It includes user registration, authentication with JWT, PostgreSQL storage, and proper error handling. Simple enough to build in one session, complex enough to show real patterns. ...

Build a REST API with Claude — From Zero to Deployed in 1 Hour

Last time we built a CLI todo app in 35 minutes. That was a local app. This time, we go bigger: a REST API that runs on the web. The goal: build a bookmark manager API with CRUD operations, pagination, search, rate limiting, tests, and a Docker setup. All with Claude Code prompts. Deploy it and get a live URL. Total time: 52 minutes from empty folder to deployed API. What We’re Building A bookmark manager REST API with these features: ...

Building a CLI Tool with AI — From Idea to Published Package

Enough theory. Let us build something real. In this article, you will build a complete CLI tool using AI — from the initial description to a published package on PyPI. Every prompt, every AI response, and every manual fix is shown. You will see where AI excels, where it struggles, and how to handle both. The project: linkcheck — a markdown link checker that scans your documentation files and reports broken links. It is a small, useful tool with enough complexity to show real patterns. ...

Build a CLI Todo App in 30 Minutes with Claude Code

Can you build a working CLI application in 30 minutes using only Claude Code? I tried it. Here is exactly what happened — every prompt, every mistake, and the final result. The goal was simple: start with an empty folder, talk to Claude Code in the terminal, and end up with a fully working todo app. No manual coding. Just prompts. Spoiler: it took 35 minutes, not 30. But the result was better than expected. ...

Python Tutorial #24: Build a Web Scraper — BeautifulSoup and httpx

In the previous tutorial, we built a REST API with FastAPI. Now let’s build a web scraper — a program that extracts data from web pages automatically. We will use httpx to fetch pages and BeautifulSoup to parse HTML. By the end, you will know how to extract data, save it to JSON and CSV, and scrape responsibly. When to Scrape (and When Not To) Web scraping is useful for: Collecting data that is not available via an API Monitoring prices, job listings, or news Research and data analysis But check these first: ...

Python Tutorial #23: Build a REST API — FastAPI

In the previous tutorial, we built a CLI tool with Click and Rich. Now let’s build a REST API — a web API that any frontend, mobile app, or other service can call. We will use FastAPI, the fastest-growing Python web framework. It has automatic documentation, type checking, and built-in validation. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a working Bookmark Manager API. Why FastAPI? Automatic API docs — Swagger UI at /docs (free, no setup) Type-safe — uses Python type hints for validation Fast — built on Starlette and Pydantic (one of the fastest Python frameworks) Async support — native async/await (from Tutorial #18) Pydantic validation — automatic input validation (from Tutorial #10) Install the dependencies: ...

Python Tutorial #22: Build a CLI Tool — Click and Rich

In the previous tutorial, we learned about logging and debugging. Now let’s build our first real project — a command-line task manager using Click for argument parsing and Rich for colored output. This project uses everything we have learned so far: dataclasses, file I/O, error handling, testing, and more. By the end, you will have a working CLI tool you can install with pip install. What We Are Building A task manager that runs in the terminal: ...

Rust Tutorial #31: Building a Real Project (Capstone)

This is the final tutorial in our Rust series. We bring together everything you learned — ownership, error handling, async, web APIs, databases, and CLI tools — into one complete project. We will build LinkShort, a URL shortener. It has two parts: A REST API — create, list, and redirect short links (Axum + SQLx) A CLI tool — manage links from the terminal (Clap + Reqwest) By the end, you will have a working application that you can run locally, extend, and deploy. ...

Jetpack Compose Tutorial #21: Planning the App — A Task Manager with Compose

You have learned every piece: layouts, state, navigation, ViewModel, MVI, Room, Hilt, animations, testing, and adaptive layouts. Now it is time to use them all together. In the next five tutorials, we will build a complete task manager app from scratch. Not a toy demo — a real app with real architecture that you could publish to Google Play. This tutorial is about planning — deciding what to build, how to organize the code, and what dependencies to use. No code yet. Just decisions. ...
